Once upon a time, in a big, magical maze, there lived four little friends who loved cheese more than anything in the world!

Meet our friends:
🐭 Sniff - A smart mouse who notices things quickly
🐁 Scurry - A speedy mouse who acts fast
👦 Hem - A little person who likes things to stay the same
👧 Haw - A little person who learns to be brave
Every day, our four friends would run through the maze looking for delicious cheese. After searching for a long time, they found the most amazing cheese station ever!
🧀🧀🧀
Cheese Station C
Lots of yummy cheese!
The cheese was so delicious! There was enough for everyone, and they were all very happy. They decided to come back to the same place every day.
"This is the best day ever! We'll never have to worry about finding cheese again!" thought all four friends.
Day after day, the four friends went to Cheese Station C. They became very comfortable and stopped paying attention to what was happening around them.
🐭🐁 The mice still woke up early and ran to the cheese station
👦👧 The little people slept in and walked slowly, expecting the cheese to be there
But Sniff the mouse started to notice something... The cheese pile was getting smaller each day. And it didn't smell as fresh as before.
Sniff wondered: "Hmm, something seems different about our cheese..."
One morning, when our friends arrived at Cheese Station C, they couldn't believe their eyes...
❌
Cheese Station C
No cheese left!
The cheese was completely gone! Our friends reacted very differently:
🐭 Sniff: "I knew this might happen. Let's find new cheese!"
🐁 Scurry: "Come on, let's go explore!"
👦 Hem: "This isn't fair! Who moved our cheese?"
👧 Haw: "Maybe... maybe someone will bring it back?"
The two mice, Sniff and Scurry, quickly put on their running shoes and dashed off into the maze to find new cheese. They weren't upset - they were excited for a new adventure!
🐭🐁💨
"See you later! We're going to find amazing new cheese!"
But Hem and Haw stayed at the empty cheese station. They were scared and angry about the change.
Hem said angrily: "This is terrible! Things should stay the same! I'm going to wait here until someone brings our cheese back!"
Haw felt scared: "What if we get lost in the maze? What if we can't find any cheese? Maybe it's safer to stay here..."
Days passed, and Hem and Haw grew hungrier and hungrier. Finally, Haw realized something important:
"Waiting here won't bring the cheese back. If I want cheese, I need to be brave and go find it myself!"
Haw tried to convince Hem to come along, but Hem was still too scared and angry to move.
👧 Haw: "Come with me, Hem! We can find new cheese together!"
👦 Hem: "No! I'm staying here. Change is scary and bad!"
So Haw took a deep breath, put on her running shoes, and bravely entered the maze alone.
As Haw explored the maze, she learned important lessons. She wrote them on the walls so she wouldn't forget:
Lesson 1
"Change happens - fighting it makes you unhappy"
Lesson 2
"Being brave and trying new things can lead to wonderful discoveries"
Sometimes Haw felt scared and wanted to go back, but she remembered that staying in the same place wouldn't help her find what she needed.

Haw kept moving forward, even when she felt scared
After exploring many parts of the maze, Haw discovered something amazing...
🧀✨🧀✨🧀
Cheese Station N
New, fresh, delicious cheese!
And guess who was already there? Sniff and Scurry! They had found this wonderful new cheese station and were happily enjoying their feast.
🐭🐁 "Haw! We're so happy you made it! This cheese is even better than the old one!"
👧 "I'm so glad I was brave enough to explore! This is amazing!"
Haw learned that change can lead to something even better than before. She wrote one final lesson on the wall:
Lesson 3
"When you're not afraid of change, you can discover wonderful new things!"
From that day on, Haw always paid attention to small changes and was ready to adapt when needed. She had learned that being flexible and brave made life much more fun!
"I wonder what other amazing discoveries are waiting for me in this maze!"
And what happened to Hem? Well, that's a story for another day... But maybe he'll learn to be brave too!
What can you learn from this story?
