誰動了我的奶酪故事第一部分story part1

Once, long ago in a land far away, there lived four little characters who ran through a maze looking for cheese to nourish them and make them happy.

Two were mice named “Sniff” and “Scurry” and two were little people – beings who were as small as mice but who looked and acted a lot like people today.  Their names were “Hem” and “Haw.”

Due to their small size, it would be easy not to notice what the four of them were doing.  But if you looked closely enough, you could discover the most amazing things!

Everyday the mice and the little people spent time in the maze looking for their own special cheese.

The mice, Sniff and Scurry, possessing only simple rodent brains, but good instincts, searching for the hard nibbling cheese they like, as mice often do.

The two littlepeople, Hem and How, used their brains, filled with many beliefs, to search for a very different kind of cheese- with a Capital C- which they believed would make them feel happy and successful.

As different as the mice and littlepeople were, they shared something in common; every morning, they each put on their jogging suits and running shoes, left their little homes, and raced out into the maze looking for their favorite cheese.

The maze was a labyrinth of corridors and chambers, some containing delicious cheese.  But there were also dark corners and blind alleys leading nowhere.  It was an easy place for anyone to get lost.

However, for those who found their way, the maze held secrets that let them enjoy a better life.  The mice, Sniff and Scurry, used the simple, but inefficient, trial –and-error method of finding cheese.  They ran down one corridor and if it proved empty, they turned and ran down another.

Sniff would smell out the general direction of the cheese, using his great nose, and Scurry would race ahead.   They got lost, as you might expect, went off in the wrong direction and often bumped into walls.

However, the two little people, Hem and Haw, used a different method that relied on their ability to think and learn from their past experiences, although, they would sometimes get confused by their beliefs and emotions.

Eventually in their own way, they all discovered what they were looking for – they each found their own kind of cheese one day at the end of one of the corridors in Cheese Station C.
