From another direction there were two shadows of a of a relatively little sized person and a comparatively big in size person. From the shadow of the comparatively big in size person it was very tall and very strongly built and the shadow of the relatively little sized person look less strong and built. The leader of the two men looked as if he was the brain and boss of the large man. He looked like a father figure. Due to the town f weed being deserted the voices of these two men got louder as the came closer to the town of weed.
The larger men of the two look as if he was tired and fed up because he was dragging his feet across the path. It looked as if it was an effort carry the weight of the larger man. Sweat was pouring off of him and as they got closer you could here him sighing and saying “Are we here yet.”
“For Christ sake I have already told you Lennie that we have got a mile to go yet. Stop moaning, walked quicker and we will get there in no time at all!” George said very crossly.
“Why George is it taking so long. Where are we going George? I am thirsty and hot George.”
“Lennie! How many times will I have to say this we are going to Murray and Ready’s to get our work cards so they can give us some work? I can’t believe you forgot already! I only told you like 15 minutes ago!”
George looked at Lennie as if he was a little child who couldn’t remember anything. George looked at him with disgust.
“George, George, I am sorry, I really am sorry George.”
“Lennie just shut up and don’t forget it again. I am not going to say it again.”
For a little while there was silence. All you could hear was the rustling of the sand and dust from the path. Then George said “come on its not long now, we will be here soon.”
As George and Lennie walked the final part to get to the ranch George told Lennie about his plans for them both to work on the ranch for a little while and collect some money and then get a place of their own with rabbit and chickens and other stuff. But George also told Lennie that he had to be on his best behaviour as they wanted work otherwise he wouldn’t get to tent the rabbits.
“Right Lennie we are here now. Now you wait out side here and don’t move while I get the work cards.”
“Ok George I wont move till you come back.”
“Yeah and be good for gods sake we don’t want the boss to find out what a crazy bastard you are sometimes do we.” Said George.
Whilst George was getting the work cards Lennie was sitting down waiting for him. Lennie started to get bored, so his eyes started to wonder the soundings around him. In the corner of his eye he saw something with looked soft, red dress. It was a young girl with her father. She had rosy cheeks and a friendly smile, and luscious red dress. Lennie thought about what George had said for a second, then looked over at the young girl as she walked and sat next to him. Lennie then decided despite what George had told him, to talk to her and say hello. Lennie took at her and saw red dress and could not bear touching it. The dress looked so velvety and so soft. As he touched the dress he startled her, and so she screamed, but he couldn’t let go because it was so silky but the harder he clenched his fists the more he pulled it and the angrier Lennie got, as she tried to get away. As the girl was screaming so loud the father heard and came out but before he had chance to see Lennie, Lennie ran off.
George instantly knew that Lennie had done something wrong, so he went in search of Lennie.
“You crazy basted what you go and do that for. It was all going well until you done that!” said George.
“George, George I am sorry, I really am. I tried not to touch. I did George.” Lennie said frightfully as he realised George was very irate with him.
George looked at Lennie with anxiety as they ran from the town off Weed. They headed for the forest to make sure anyone that was searching for them wouldn’t find them.
“Bloody hell Lennie I knew that you couldn’t go without getting into trouble. Five minutes I left you for, five bloody minutes. What the hell am I going to do with you?”
“George I couldn’t help it, you know I couldn’t it just looked.....”
“JUST STOP THERE LENNIE!”
“Its all ways sorry George, I didn’t mean too. Well now you can sort it out I don’t care!”
Lennie looked at George with disappointment, but knew that he had done wrong. All Lennie could reply with was “I am sorry George, I forgot.”
From that point, on there was little sound all the way to the ranch. They walked for miles and miles on end on a long, boring and dusty road. There was not one mutter of a word.
