This book is about is about two mice and two little people and how they adapted to change. You have the two mice, Sniff and Scurry. And you have the two little people, Hem and Haw. In the story the two groups of people have pretty much the same routines. Everyday they get up, put on their shoes and go into the maze in search of cheese. Well, one day they all come to Cheese Station C. The station is overflowing with cheese, the largest supply that any of them have ever seen. So everyday they get up and go to Cheese Station C to feast on the delicious cheese. The two mice kept the same routine everyday as they would get up at the same time and go to the station. But as time progressed the two little people would wake up a little later and walk a little slower to the station. Well one day Sniff and Scurry woke up and when they arrived at the station, the discovered that the station was devoid of cheese. So the put their shoes back on and proceeded back into the maze in search of more cheese. Well the two little people woke and discovered the same empty station and Haw was furious. Hem thought of going back into the maze to look for new cheese but Hem talked him into staying and waiting for the cheese to be put back. Time passes and the cheese was not returned. Hem and Haw grew weak and still they waited. While they were waiting for cheese, the two mice, Sniff and Scurry, made their way to Cheese Station N. They arrived and to their disbelief they found the biggest cheese supply ever. Well after a while Haw started to see how ridiculous waiting for the cheese to be replenished was. So he decided to go back into the maze despite his fears. As he went deeper into the maze he felt freer, as his fear regressed he felt that much better. One day he found some pieces on new cheese so he decided to bring some back to Hem but Hem declined Haw's offer. Haw went back into the maze and continued his journey.
