aces they once were. The little people had difficulty sleeping and were having nightmares about not finding any Cheese.他们的家，也不再是美好舒适的地方。
他们睡不上一个安稳觉，而且每晚的时光都伴着找不到奶酪的噩梦度过。But Hem and Haw still returned to Cheese Station C and waited there every day.但他们仍然每天都回到奶酪C站，仍然每天在那里等待。
Hem said, "You know, if we just work harder, we'll find that nothing has really changed that much. The Cheese is probably nearby. Maybe they just hid it behind the wall."哼哼说：“你知道，如果我们再努力一些，我们也许会发现事情并没有发生太大的变化。
奶酪也许就在附近，它们也许只是被人藏到墙后面去了。”The next day, Hem and Haw returned with tools. Hem held the chisel while Haw banged on the hammer until they made a hole in the wall of Cheese Station C. They peered inside but found no Cheese.第二天，哼哼和唧唧带了工具回到奶酪C站。
哼哼拿着凿子，唧唧则用锤子敲打，他们费了九牛二虎之力，终于在墙上打出了一个洞，朝里面窥视，去依旧没发现奶酪的踪迹。
They were disappointed but believed they could solve the problem. So they started earlier, stayed longer, and worked harder. But after a while, all they had was a large hole in the wall.尽管他们感到非常失望，但他们仍然相信问题会得到解决。
以后，他们起得很早，工作得更长、更努力。但是，一段时间以后，他们得到的只是一个个更大的洞。
