Here are some more summaries of the novel Of Mice and Men:

Chapter 3:

Slim finally agrees to let Lennie have one of his pups, after this Lennie spends all his free time lying with the pups. George tells Slim how he met Lennie saying he knew his Aunt and when his Aunt died he had to take care of Lennie. At first he would always tease Lennie about being so stupid, but one day when Lennie nearly drowns in a pond George told him to swim in he begins to feel bad and from that point on has always taken care of Lennie. When Lennie enters the bunkhouse he is clearly hiding a pup under his coat and George yells at him for taking it away from its mother and tells him to put it back straight away. Then Curley enters asking where his wife is and begins to believe that she is with Slim. George asks Lennie if he has seen Slim in the barn with Curley’s wife and Lennie says ‘no’, George believes him without a doubt. When Curley returns he realizes that Slim was not with his wife, but he was still angry and looking to take out his anger on someone. So he begins to punch Lennie in the face and in the gut, but then George tells Lennie to fight back and Lennie grabs his fist and breaks his hand almost effortlessly. Slim warns Curley not to have George and Lennie fired because then he will become the laughing stock of the ranch.
