The old swamper is Candy, an elderly ranch hand with a missing hand. When George and Lennie arrive at the ranch, Candy tells them about the boss and the other workers, warns them about Curley's aggressive behavior, and shares some information about the ranch and its operations. He also mentions his aging dog, which becomes a significant part of the story later on.

The two main characters in "Of Mice and Men" are George Milton and Lennie Small. They are migrant workers who have a close bond despite their differences in personality and capabilities. Their dream of owning their own piece of land drives the narrative of the novella.

Candy first appears in "Of Mice and Men" in the second chapter, when he enters the bunkhouse to talk to George and Lennie. Candy is an old ranch hand who is missing a hand and he offers to contribute money towards their dream of owning a piece of land.
Slim is one character on the ranch who is respectful and tries to understand George and Lennie. He is observant and empathetic, offering his thoughts on their situation and providing support when needed. Slim is seen as one of the more compassionate individuals in the novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck.
The cost of George and Lennie's dream ranch is not explicitly stated in Steinbeck's novella "Of Mice and Men." However, based on their aspirations to save money from their work on the ranch and eventually buy a place of their own, the cost would depend on various factors such as the size of the land, location, and any additional infrastructure they would need to build.

George and Lennie's dream ranch could cost them a significant amount, as they would need to buy land, livestock, equipment, and potentially hire workers. The exact cost would depend on various factors such as the location, size of the ranch, and market prices for farming supplies.
