'"Come on, Reuben, I've got soup ready!"
She squared me up at the table and set down a bowl of something white- not what you think of as soup, though dumplings bobbed on the surface. "It's villing!" she announced.
I know what it was, It was hot milk with a little sugar stirred in, also some butter and a shake of cinnamon (111).'

I related with this passage because i grew up eating the same exact food but with white rice mixed in with the milk instead of dumplings. I have never heard of anyone else to ever eat this. I was amazed when this passage appeared in my book.
The passage also illustrates how hard the smallest daughter can work. She prepared the meal for the father while he was sick and shows that she is a very strong young child. She has the power to lead the family in a hard time even tho she is the youngest.
