Activity
Four little mice,
Became very hungry one night
Into the kitchen they hurried
And in a corner, a chunk of cheese they spied
Two went under the cheese and nibbled from below,
Until they met halfway through.
One sat on the cheese and ate much more from above
The fourth watched them beside
For he could find no place inside.

Another mouse sat on the cheese and ate more from above. The fourth mouse, finding no space inside, simply watched them from the side.
