Lennie ran. He heard the yelling of Curley. Lennie ran in panic, and did not know where to go, he ran behind a tree, but heard Curley yell "that son of a bitch". Lennie heard the sound of a gun being shot, and he remembered, the puppies. He stood still. Hearing the sound of Curley’s furious walk, Lennie ran through the bushes, and took 2 puppies, being as careful as he could with them. He saw the way the guys killed Candy’s dog, he didn’t want any harm to those puppies. “I won’t hurt you...‘least I try not to” said Lennie.
George saw Lennie run with two puppies. “I think I see someone running ova there” while pointing in the opposite direction of where Lennie was.
“George’s gonna kill me. He’s gonna let me stay somewhere alone, without anything. He’s gonna take everything, just like he took that dead mouse from me” he said almost crying.
Lennie remembered. Hide until George comes to look for me. Lennie runs to where George specifically said to go to if he got into any trouble. And he waited...And waited....And waited.
“George is never gonna come ‘ere to look for me. He gonna sleep in the ranch, and say ‘ oh im glad Lennie isn’t here to screw anything else up’. “ Lennie said.
But when Lennie’s eyes were following George, he saw George sneak away, and saw him coming towards him.
“Hey Lennie! Run! Anywhere! But ‘member where we are now, you come ‘ere tonight in 5 hours. After everyone gets tired of looking for someone they can’t find, they’ll give up on lookin’. Got it? “
“Yea George, i’ll ‘member, i won’t forget. I promise” said Lennie.
“Now go!”
“Okay see ya in 5 hours”
As Lennie ran, George pretended to look for Lennie as he was going to kill him.
“I can’t find Lennie. He’s nowhere ‘round here” Said George.
A couple hours later, Lennie came back to the ranch, and saw no one in sight. But he heard George say: “I wanna see those puppies. Now that Lennie’s gone, and probably dead, we don’t have to worry about those little pups getting killed.”
George walked out of the ranch, and spotted Lennie. George ran towards him.
“Im sorry George, i promise i wont no do that ever ‘gain. Do i still get rabbits?”
“yea sure Lennie, don’t worry about nothin’. Now lets find a place to sleep for the night”.
As the night passed, Lennie woke up and realized he still had his two little pups.
“George, wake up!”
“What you want?”
“I took two pups, i think they’re thirsty”
“Give them water. There’s a river ova there”.
Lennie gave the two puppies, and gave them water.
Lennie went back to where they were sleeping.
Lennie put the two puppies down, and then crawled towards each other.
“Im gonna name you Lenny and George, Lenny for the bigger one, and George for the smaller one, ‘cause you remind me of me and George, two best friends”.
