pond
river in the opening scene of John Steinbeck's novella "Of Mice and Men." George is small and quick, while Lennie is large and mentally disabled. They dream of owning a piece of land one day, living off what they produce. Their contrasting characteristics and shared dream set the foundation for the story's exploration of companionship, loneliness, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
George gets angry with Lennie in the clearing because Lennie, despite being repeatedly told, insists on bringing a dead mouse with him - which goes against their plan to keep a low profile at their new job. George becomes frustrated with Lennie's inability to understand the consequences of his actions.
George told Lennie to flee to the clearing by the river and wait for him to come get him, if Lennie got into any trouble. George and Lennie spent the night in the same clearing on their way to the ranch/farm.
If you are referring to the brush and the salinas river, it is because Lennie kills Curley's wife and was told by George to go back to the brush if he gets in trouble so that is where he goes. He is told in the first chapter, showing the inevitibility that he would get in trouble. :)
The ranch that George and Lennie dream of owning is called the "American Dream Ranch".

In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," Lennie does not kill George. George ultimately makes the difficult decision to shoot Lennie to prevent him from suffering a worse fate at the hands of others after an accidental tragedy Lennie causes. George kills Lennie out of a sense of compassion and mercy.
Lennie and George met when George's aunt Clara passed away and Lennie's Aunt Clara died. George was friends with Lennie's Aunt Clara, and Lennie's Aunt Clara had asked George to look out for Lennie after she passed away. George agreed to take care of Lennie and they formed a strong bond based on mutual dependence and friendship.
