Write a summary (100 words) of first chapter of "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck.

In the first chapter of the novel, Of Mice and
Men
, readers are introduced to the two protagonists.  Lennie and George are
on their way to a ranch to find work.  They have recently left Weeds because of trouble
that Lennie caused there.  Readers also find out about the dream that Lennie and George
have: to own their own ranch. Readers also learn that Lennie likes furry things (such as
rabbits and mice), but has a habit of killing them accidentally.  Lennie is a slightly
slow man and simply does not know his own strength.
