I knew those six words were too "perfect " not to have a story behind them. One of my daughters started crying when I read her that very short short story. It packs an emotional punch for sure.

I was glad to see it tracked down. I never believed it was original to Hemingway.

Kinda like getting to the origin of "Knock"'s short inspiration. I assume this was posted to FM, too?

I don't remember seeing it there.
