As a joke George had told Lennie to jump in the river even though he knew Lennie couldn't swim. Lennie almost drowned.
"Jump in.’ An’ he jumps. Couldn’t swim a stroke. He damn near drowned
before we could get him. An’ he was sodamn nice to me for pullin’ him out.
Clean forgot I told him to jump in. Well, I ain’t done nothing like that no more.”
