Abstract
This 40-page pamphlet 7 square presents two experiences of three mice dealing with a maze to find the cheese. Three American mice make it into a competitive match each day; each of them eats only about a third of the 120 days of the experiment. They end up emaciated and bruised from their efforts. The three Japanese mice sniff together the first day. The second day they get on each other's shoulders and look over the maze. They then make maps. The third day they use their maps and all arrive at the cheese at the same time. At the end of the 120 days of experiment, they all arrive at the cheese 118 times. They even add tea, saki, and stools and make the cheese hunt into a pleasant common diversion each day. The moral of the story is quite simple. Plan for success, or rush into failure: a cooperative team with cmmon goals and plans will beat the competition. Working together, we can all have the cheese.
