Two drifters that roam the country looking for work. They find a farm that will take them, but Lennie gets into trouble because he is “simple minded”. He and George are best friends and take care of each other. At the farm they share they're hopes and dreams with some of the other workers.

What I didn't like is that there is no content, this is a short story that focus more on the characters then on the plot. The characters are likeable and well developed, but they are just too boring.

Very hard to see why this is a classic, although it does have a broad appeal by telling such a simple, relatable story.

- simple characters, reminded me of my grandpa farm stories (yawn)
- no plot, nothing exciting happens
