To put yourself in the shoes of others and grow your capacity for empathy, you can hardly do better than reading fiction.

In that short story written by the well know novelist, John Steinbeck, the turtle hides in it´s shell when the woman makes herself aside trying not to go through the turtle. This title is an allegory, where every written word has a symbolic meaning, and many US citizens consider it part of the anthology of american literature.
The title of "Of Mice and Men" comes from Burns' poem. In his poem, Burns says that the best-laid plans of mice and men often go wrong. This theme is exemplified in Steinbeck's novel through the plans George and Lenny make.
Throughout the novel, George and Lenny plan to save their money and buy a farm. Lenny is particularly looking forward to having rabbits of his own. They spend a lot of time discussing the farm and the freedom they will soon have. These plans are, as Burns would say, "best-laid," or well planned.
Of course, as Burns' poem says, these plans go wrong. Lenny accidentally kills Curley's wife and must run away. As a result, Lenny dies and George knows in his heart he will never have the farm that he and Lenny had dreamed of for so long. He knows he will spend his money drinking like the other men and trying to forget his troubles.
And so, the best-laid plans of George and Lenny surely went wrong.
