The odd
couple,and , travel everywhere together. As someone with serious learning disabilities, Lennie
is incapable of looking after himself. And George promised Lennie's Aunt Clara that he'd always
take care of him. So they go everywhere together, from one farm to another, from adventure to
adventure.
Slim's an old hand, and he's seen pretty much everything in this
business. So he knows just how unusual it is for itinerant farm hands to travel around together.
As he points out, the life of a farm hand is a pretty lonely one; he never puts down any roots
or establishes any lasting connections with anyone. Instead, he just moves from place to place
by himself, works for about a month on a farm, and then quits and takes off his
own.
