""Now say 'Cheese!""--determined mouse: ""Cheese!"" ""Now, smile when you say it!""--small smile"" ""Cheese!"" ""How about a really big smile?""--wide toothy smile: ""Cheese!"" ""Bigger""--ear to ear smile: ""CHEESE!"" ""GOOD! HOLD IT PLEASE!""--click! ""Thank you. Here is your cheese.""--""Grrr.""
