Hem thinks they should wait for “the others” to give them back their cheese because they have a right to it. He keeps asking himself, “How can they treat us like this?” “Where’s the cheese?” “How could they do that to us?” …et cetera. Hem is angry and thinks that the “cheese” was moved by someone else. They can’t believe that their easy way of life is over. Hem and Haw, on the other hand, still go to the empty room every day, hoping to find some fresh cheese. They find a lot of cheese quickly and start eating it as soon as they find it. When Sniff smells a new food source, he runs to the place right away.

Sniff and Scurry went to look around the rest of the maze for more cheese. When they tried to follow them, Hem and Haw waved them off and said they’d stay in the room all night in the hopes that the cheese would come back in the morning. They get ready to go by putting on their running shoes and looking at Hem and Haw to see if they are going to follow them. Sniff and Scurry decided to go back into the maze to look for more cheese. This makes them feel more and more frustrated. Sniff and Scurry, the mice, look around the room for more, but they can’t find any. This means that people don’t care at all that their wealth, or “cheese,” might run out one day.Īnd one day, there was no more cheese. Like if the cheese has gone bad or if there isn’t enough of it. While the humans put their shoes away, put on slippers, and just enjoy their mountain of cheese, the mice leave their running shoes near the station and go there every day to see if anything has changed. Everyone sits down to eat, or, to put it another way, to enjoy the “good things” in their lives. Not far away, Hem and Haw, the “Little people,” also find a lot of “Cheese,” which, in their context, means riches or the things that people want in life. The mice Sniff and Scurry find a lot of this cheese all at once one day. They had to get up very early every morning and work hard to get the cheese. At first, everyone is very committed to their work. He then goes on to tell the story:Ī long time ago, in a land far, far away, two mice and two very small people lived together in a big maze. He talks about how his business was about to fail until he heard a story that changed his mind and helped him turn things around for the better. They talk about their lives up to this point, including the problems they’ve had at work and at home and how they’ve solved them.

A reunion brings together a group of old friends.
