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.
