I cannot think of a last time when I've read such a mindless so-called "book" and fumed with such anger! I am not sure what insulted me more: the banality of the story or the "before" and "after" commentary by the author. Since the book is written in a kindergarten English, the author, probably, assumes that his readers are unable to comprehend the simplistic message of the story. If you are looking for a good self-improvement book that teaches you how to positively deal with, accept, and/or affect changes in your life, please pass this one and invest in Brian Tracy's "Maximum Achievement". Otherwise, you can simply ask yourself a million dollar question:" What would I do if I did not feel this fear?" If, on the other hand, you are planning to accept change mindlessly, as the mice does, then shut up, and be prepared to spend your life forever searching for your happiness (cheese) in a maze of someone else's making!
