Lost Cheese Sleuth

Wilbur has a second job — as a Lost Cheese Sleuth.
Wilbur has to use his wits, fine sense of smell, and whatever is available to him in order to protect his cheese. He also likes to help others when they lose their cheese.

Wilbur always remembers the name, face, and smell of a cheese thief, because he is a "lost cheese sleuth." He even has a motto on his official lost cheese sleuth business card:

"We always get our cheese!"

Wilbur is particularly careful around bullies. He had some unpleasant run-ins with one bully in particular. This bully took Wilbur's cheese and then stuffed it in the waistband of his pants. Um … that's not the way it's supposed to be done.

Wilbur has a list of fake or corrupted cheese to stay away from. Now he has to add "pants cheese" to his list of fake cheese.
  • Toe Cheese: The goopy yellow stuff between toes and under toenails. 
  • Eye Cheese: This is otherwise known as "sleepy dirt."
  • Ear Cheese: Otherwise known as ear wax, but not useful for candles.
  • Nose Cheese: This requires no more explanation, but it is a fascination of children everywhere.
  • Armpit Cheese: The gunk which cakes up in armpits. 
  • Pants Cheese: Never store cheese in pants … because you don't want to go there.

Wilbur also has a list of the best cheese. He keeps this list in a secret place.
