The smaller, wiry man is George Milton and behind him, the huge man with large eyes, walking like a huge bear, is Lennie Small. Lennie drops near the pool and starts drinking the water thirstily. George cautions him not to drink that water as he may fall sick.
George takes the mouse from Lennie and throws it into the bushes. He then admonishes Lennie for his behavior, warning him not to behave badly, as he has done so often in the past, and ordering him not to say a word when they meet the boss at the new ranch.
