At first, he finds it ridiculous; however, he is charmed by its simplicity and wishes to make it a part of his future too, but when he Lennie leaves Crooks' room, he is resentful and condemns the dream as an impossibility.
Crooks initially doubts Lennie's dream, believing that most men never achieve their dreams. However, he becomes intrigued by the idea and ultimately reveals his own desire for companionship and a sense of belonging.
He is inspired
he thinks its balls
The stable buck, Crooks, is skeptical of their dream because as a black man in a racist society, he realizes that he will never be able to fully achieve that dream due to the systemic barriers he faces. He has experienced discrimination and isolation, making him doubt that such a dream is possible for someone like him.

Lennie tells Crooks about the plan he and George have (and now Candy as well) to get a little farm together. Lennie will be able to tend the rabbits, and as he and Crooks sit in Crooks' room out in the barn, Candy is in the bunkhouse "figurin' and figurin'" about the rabbits and how they might be able to make some money on them. The dream they had of "livin' offa the fatta the lan'" (living off of the fat of the land) was supposed to kept a secret, but Lennie doesn't realize that he shouldn't tell Crooks about it. At first, Crooks scoffs at the idea. He says, "No one never gets to Heaven, and no one never gets no land," but when Candy admits that it's true, Crooks wants in. However, Curley's wife winds up coming out to the barn, and she puts Crooks back in his place, so he ends the chapter telling Candy that he was just kidding about wanting to go to the dream farm with them. As readers, we know that he wasn't kidding, but we also know that Crooks is right to realize that he wouldn't be able to join with the others since he is a Black man in the 1930's south (California) and the prejudice of the whites will keep him from joining them.
