Who Moved My Cheese? is a symbolic story with a moral about two mice named "Sniff" and "Scurry" and two little people "Hem" and "Haw" living in a maze representing the place where we seek what we desire. They search for cheese, symbolizing happiness, money, a job, health, love, or status. The group starts without cheese, and the mice separate from the humans in the maze's long corridors searching for cheese. One day, both groups find a passage full of cheese at Cheese Station (C). The satisfied humans create routines around their daily cheese consumption and begin acting arrogantly in the process.
