while on a bus en route to the new ranch, lennie — who, because of his mental disability, is prone to forget the simplest things or phrases but can only remember about the rabbits—asks george where they are going. george is annoyed about this and tells him about the work cards they got at the bus entrance, which lennie does remember, but incorrectly remembers having them in his pocket, since george has both of them. after being dropped off 10 miles from their destination, george and lennie decide to camp for the night by the salinas river. when george points to lennie the river, he runs to the river and dunks his whole head in it, drinking from it like an animal. george soon catches lennie petting a dead bird, takes it away from him and throws it to the other side of the river for safety reasons. when lennie hears that they are going have beans for dinner, he requests ketchup, to which george responds that they do not have any. at night, as george and lennie are eating beans for dinner, lennie requests for the same thing, with george responding angrily, stating that whatever they do not have is what lennie always wants to have. this leaves lennie puzzled, as he forgot that first response from earlier. this also causes george to have a long speech about lennie's ungratefulness, childlike behavior and why they had to escape from weed. eventually, george eases the tensions by telling lennie his favorite story about their future farm before going to sleep.
