为什么标题是 of mice and man

Steinbeck originally titled it Something That Happened, however he changed the title after reading Robert Burns' poem, To a Mouse. That poem tells of the regret the narrator feels for having destroyed the home of a mouse while plowing his field. In essence, it suggests that no plan is fool-proof and no one can be completely prepared for the future.
The line from the poem: "To a Mouse" is often translated into English as: "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry (or astray)." However, the original Burns Scottish is: "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley."

Story
Farm laborer Lennie is a big, loving, but sometimes childish man who has often killed pets accidentally with his crushing embrace. His buddy and close friend and fellow migrant worker, George , has warned him to be careful, since one day it might not be an animal that he kills. When their boss's son's wife finds Lennie in a barn weeping over a dead puppy, she is sympathetic, Lennie is touching her hair and gets scared when his hands get entangled in it. She screams and, in a panic, Lennie accidently breaks her neck. George knows where Lennie has run to hide and shoots him before the other men can get to him.
