George reminds Lennie to "hide in the brush 'til I [he] come[s]". This order foreshadows that Lennie will inevitably get in some sort of trouble apart from other incidents in the novel. George and Lennie constantly must run from different ranches and authorities because Lennie gets in trouble due to his childlike mind and superhuman strength. Lennie repeats this order to himself throughout the text, which is important because he is unable to remember most things. Finally, Lennie does hide in the brush, waiting for George tp rescue him yet again.
