The Saturday Soup Kitchen

Every Saturday morning, Leo walks to the small soup kitchen near his home.

He puts on a blue apron and washes his hands.

Then he helps Mrs.

Chen cut bread for the visitors.

Leo is only twelve, so he cannot cook the hot food.

But he can carry bowls to the tables and smile at everyone.

Many visitors come because they live alone.

They say the warm soup is nice, but the friendly talk is better.

Last week, Leo asked his friend Maya to come too.

Now they volunteer together, and the work feels faster and more fun.

Leo says, "One small hand can help a lot."
