So it's Saturday again and Momma has a surprise activity planned for the day. Tawny, Sam and Duke are taken on trip to the local soup kitchen. Momma says that they have to help serve and to learn the meaning of helping others so that they don't become selfish. As Tawny and her family take the short ride across town she finds out that there is a lot going on with other families outside of her own neighborhood and that some even don't have a house to live in. While at the kitchen she meets Miss Dorothy, who is in charge of the kitchen and gave Tawny the best job ever. She discovers that there are far more important things to life than getting birthday gifts and making hats for Duke. She now understood that her Momma was right; sometimes people need help. Tawny wanted to be one of those people who helped, because helping others is fun!
