Sometimes Hem and Haw would take their friends by to see their pile of Cheese. Sometimes they shared it with their friends and sometimes they didn't. "We deserve this Cheese,"' Hem said. "We certainly had to work long and hard enough to find it." After a while Hem's and Haw's confidence grew into the arrogance of success. Soon they became so comfortable they didn't even notice what was happening. As time went on. Sniff and Scurry continued their routine. They arrived early each morning and sniffed and scratched and scurried around Cheese Station C, inspecting the area to see if there had been any changes from the day before. One morning they arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there was no cheese. They weren't surprised. They were prepared for the inevitable and knew instinctively what to do. The situation at Cheese Station C had changed. So, Sniff and Scurry decided to change. Scurry took off running through the Maze, while Sniff followed as fast as he could. They were quickly off in search of New Cheese. Later that same day, Hem and Haw arrived at Cheese Station C. They had not been paying attention to the small changes that had been taking place each day, so they took it for granted their Cheese would be there. They were unprepared for what they found. "What! No Cheese?" Hem yelled. "Who moved my Cheese? It's not fair!" The Little people's behavior was not very attractive or productive, but it was understandable. Finding Cheese wasn't easy, and it meant a great deal more to the Little people than just having enough of it to eat every day. Finding Cheese was the Little people's way of getting what they thought they needed to be happy. For some, finding Cheese was having material things. For others it was enjoying good health or developing a spiritual sense of well-being.
