Of Mice and Men

The tragic story of George and Lennie, who move from one farm to another, looking for work. George is clever but Lennie's size and slowness are always getting him into trouble. One day the two men get a job on a farm. Things are going well until they meet the unhappy wife of the farm foreman, Curley. Then Curley's wife tries to become friendly with Lennie.

This means it is a simplified version only, which is re-told by Martin Winks
