Read the extract below from 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. Then answer Question 1. Extract: George stared at the water. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the dusty path. Lennie, oblivious, splashed his hands in the stream, giggling softly. 'Don't you go messin' with that water, Lennie,' George said, his voice flat. 'We ain't got time for your games. We got work to do.' Lennie's face fell. He looked like a startled animal, his large eyes wide and innocent. George sighed, the sound heavy with resignation. He knew it was no use. Lennie would always be Lennie. And George would always be there to clean up the mess.
