Inspired by the mice, Haw again proposes a search for new cheese.

Meanwhile, Hem and Haw grow frustrated and blame each other for their situation. While Hem and Haw evaluate the decision, Sniff and Scurry go further into the maze and discover “Cheese Station N,” along with the biggest store of cheese the mice have ever seen. Haw suggests a search for New Cheese, but Hem rejects his proposal. The two rant about the injustice of the situation and question how such a situation could have even arisen. Both refuse to accept that the cheese is gone. Meanwhile, Hem and Haw, who have failed to notice the small changes taking place each day, arrive at Cheese Station C. Before long, they scurry off in search of New Cheese in the maze. The situation at Cheese Station C has changed. To the mice, the problem and the answer are both simple.

Since Sniff and Scurry noticed the supply of cheese dwindling every day, the mice are prepared for the inevitable and know what to do. One morning, the mice arrive at Cheese Station C and notice that there is no cheese.

However, over time, the two Littlepeople arrive later and later, confident that the cheese will always be there. In the beginning, Hem and Haw also race to Cheese Station C every morning. Every morning after that, the mice head over there to feast, waking early each morning and following the same route, establishing a routine in the process.

One morning, both mice and the Littlepeople locate their favorite type of cheese at the end of one of the corridors in Cheese Station C. But due to Hem and Haw’s beliefs, their emotions often take over and cloud the way they look at things, making life in the maze overly complicated and challenging. The two Littlepeople, Hem and Haw, rely on their complex brains to develop more sophisticated strategies of finding Cheese. The mice, Sniff and Scurry, use the simple trial-and-error method of finding cheese. Sniff, Scurry, Hem, and Haw are four characters that live in a dark, elaborate maze, each searching for their own special cheese to nourish them.
