[Question] George lies to the boss about being Lennie's cousin and about the cause for Lennie's condition. Why do you think he feels it is necessary to tell such lies? [Answer]
He is probably afraid that the boss won't hire them if he knew that Lennie was mentally retarded (discriminated against in 1930s) and that George was too soft to leave Lennie. The horse story would get a sympathy vote since it wasn't Lennie's fault
