George looked sharply at him. "What'd you take outa that pocket?"
"Ain't a thing in my pocket," Lennie said cleverly.
"I know there ain't. You got it in your hand. What you got in your hand- hidin' it?"
"I ain't got nothin', George. Honest."
"Come on, give it here."
Lennie held his closed hand away from George's direction. "It's on'y a mouse, George."
"A mouse? A live mouse?"
"Uh-uh. Jus' a dead mouse, George. I didn't kill it. Honest! I found it. I found it dead."
"Give it here!" said George.
"Aw, leave me have it, George."
"Give it here!"
Lennie's closed hand slowly obeyed. George took the mouse and threw it across the pool to the other side, among the brush. "What you want of a dead mouse, anyways?"
"I could pet it with my thumb while we walked along," said Lennie.
"Well, you ain't petting no mice while you walk with me. --Of Mice and Men

We slept with coyotes howling and screeching all around us very close and the next morning found out what all the hubbub was about! NOVEMBER 2006 Superstitions 11/18/2006 Stayed overnight to Sunday the 19th. Went with Dits and Sonny and Steve. Oh, what a BIG TIME we had. Only I heard the lone coyote this time. He howled very well. We sat in our chairs and we camped in a place just like last time in Garden Valley. No one there at all. It got a little cold after sunset but grew warmer near the morning. No clouds. Milky way. Steve saw a lot of shooting stars. Dits drank Canadian Club and sprite and I had four Black Butte Porters. Sonny and I looked at the musician's friend catalog, which was a real hit with everyone. I read THE REPAIRMAN by Harry Harrison to everyone ALOUD. We laughed. What a trip. We had breakfast at JB's afterwards. I had the steak and egg breakfast!
