The story contains four fictional characters; Sniff and Scurry are mice, Hem and Haw are little people, they all live in a maze and their main goal in life is to find cheese. The four characters run in the maze every day looking for cheese. They all found cheese in the same spot, at cheese station C. Hem and Haw were happy, finding cheese made them feel successful and safe. They put away their running shoes and moved their homes close to station C and built a life there. The mice, Sniff and Scurry, used a simple daily method for finding cheese; they were prepared to search for new cheese if they needed to. They were not as confident as Hem and Haw. They would return to Cheese station C every day for cheese, but they also kept their running shoes with them and were aware that things could change at anytime.
