he tells crroks about the dream after candy has just said about buying into the dream when george said not to tell anyone.
Lennie Crooks often stretches the truth or bends the rules in order to increase his own benefits or achieve his personal goals, even if it means taking advantage of others or causing harm in the process.
Lennie told Crooks about their dream ranch, which Geroge specifically told Lennie not to tell anyone else.
Lennie went into Crooks' bunk because he wanted to get away from the chaos and noise in the main bunkhouse. He found Crooks' room peaceful and enjoyed the quiet there. Lennie was also drawn to Crooks' company because he was looking for someone to talk to and Crooks was the only one who would listen to him.
In Chapter 4 of "Of Mice and Men," Crooks is visited by Lennie, Candy, and later Curley's wife. They end up in Crooks's room after Lennie is forbidden from entering the bunkhouse by the other men. Each character is seeking something different - Lennie wants companionship, Candy wants a sense of belonging, and Curley's wife wants to alleviate her own loneliness.
Lennie and Candy forget their agreement not to talk about their dream farm when they visit Crooks. They end up discussing their plans for the farm in front of him, even though they had promised not to mention it.
Crooks secretly enjoys getting attention from Lennie and Candy, even though he acts as if he is unhappy about their visit.
Croks likes talking to lennie because croks listens to lennie.
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.
Lennie walked into Crooks' bunk because he was drawn to the light and the comfort he saw inside. Lennie, being innocent and unaware of social boundaries, didn't realize that he was crossing a line by entering a space where he wasn't welcome. His desire for companionship and connection overrode any sense of propriety in that moment.
John Steinbeck's purpose for including the character of Crooks in "Of Mice and Men" is to highlight the pervasive racism and segregation faced by African Americans during the Great Depression. Through Crooks, Steinbeck exposes the harsh reality of discrimination and loneliness faced by marginalized groups in society. Crooks also serves as a symbol of resilience and humanity in the face of systemic oppression.
In the book, when George and Lennie enter the ranch for the first time George has to cover for Lennie by claiming that he was kicked in the head by horse as a kid. After that though, Lennie asks why he lied. Other than that, Steinbeck never writes the name. You can Google it. :)

Lennie is portrayed as the physically strongest character in "Of Mice and Men." However, his strength is juxtaposed with his mental limitations and vulnerability, highlighting a complex portrayal of strength and weakness.
