Elya Yelnats is a character in the novel "Holes" by Louis Sachar. He is Stanley Yelnats' great-great-grandfather, who made a deal with Madame Zeroni involving a pig and a promise that led to a family curse. Elya is shown to be caring, but also somewhat naive and unlucky.
He is in love with a girl named Myra Menke

Elya refused to choose a number to win Myra's hand in marriage because he made a promise to his friend, Madame Zeroni, that he would carry her up a mountain to drink from a specific stream in exchange for her help. Elya believed breaking the promise would bring a curse upon his family, so he chose not to participate in the competition.
what goes around comes around, because what elya (the great great grand father of Stanley) didnt do to madame Zerone Stanley did to Zero (her great great grandson)
She didn't really pick Elya said forget about it because she was saying who should i pick and so he left without the pig and then forgot about madame Zeroni and went to America
In the book Holes by Louis Sachar Madame Zeroni tells Elya to take the pig to the stream that runs uphill, on a mountain, everyday and to let it drink from that stream. He is to, as it drinks, sing a song to it. She also tells Elya to take the pig up on the day of Myra's birthday and says that that pig will be bigger than all of Igor's pigs. She asks in return that he, when strong enough, carries her up the mountain too, lets her drink from the stream, and also sings her the song.
She forgot to carry Madame Zeroni up the mountain because he was to sad because he didn't get chosen to marry Elya.
