Why did George shoot Lennie?

-
 In Of Mice and Men, George in Lennie fall in love with a dream they have--a dream to one day become financially independent and run their own peace of land. Their captivation with their dream is great, and they begin pooling together money and making plans. Their plan is beautiful and exciting, but one that is never achieved.

Two Frogs In Cream by T.C.Hamlet

Two frogs fell into a can of cream Or so I've heard it told The sides of the can were shiny and steep The cream was deep and cold "Oh what's the use",croaked Number 1. "T'is fate no helps around" "Goodbye my friends","Goodbye sad world" And weeping still he drowned But number 2 of sterner stuff Dog-Paddled in surprise The while he dried his creamy face And dried his creamy eyes "I'll swim a while, at least", he said "It really wouldn't help the world if one more frog were dead". An hour or so he kicked and swam Not once he stopped to mutter But kicked and kicked and swam and kicked And hopped out via butter
