Snow White clanged with her spoon against the pot. "Supper!"

Everybody, except Grumpy and Buck, ran inside and sat on the table, filling their bowls with soup.

"Oh, goodie. I haven't been this hungry since that picnic," Maggie said.

"Feel free to take as much as you want, y'all. Me and Snow White made it with a very special recipe," Lucky Jack said.

"Then let's get on with it," Happy said.

They all put their bowls on the table and began to eat. Everyone, except Mrs. Calloway, Grace, and Lucky Jack, was slurping the soup noisily. Happy was the first to have a smile on his face.

"Gee, Lucky Jack. This is the best soup ever," he said.

"Why, thank you, Happy. That's mighty kind of you, but could you..." But before Lucky Jack could say something,they all slurpedfurther. And then Happy began to sing, everyone still eating and slurping while he did that.

"With a spoon and a bowl

With the music in your soul

You can cheer things up with the zub, zub, zub

Of the music in your soup

With a gulp

With a grin, hahah

Get a wiggle on your chin

You can make things hum with a zum, zum, zum

Of the music in your soup"

And then everybody, except Lucky Jack, Mrs. Calloway, and Grace, sang along and kept slurping. Bashful even tied his beard on his head to eat better, and Dopey drank his entire bowl in one gulp, and Maggie did the same. Then the brown cow burped loudly. "Ah, that was good!" she said, and the dwarfs laughed.

"Swing that spoon

Gotta keep on dippin'

Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp

Scoop up that soup

Gotta keep on sippin'

Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp

Till the bowl is dry

And your face is drippin'"

Then they all clinked their bowls to each other, filled them again, and continued with eating.

"Let her rip!

Let her roar!

To the first and the second

And the third encore"

Maggie was drinking her soup like a pig, much to Mrs. Calloway's shock.

"Dear, why are you eating like that? That's definitely not like you and unladylike," she said.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Calloway. I didn't realize how hungry I was," Maggie said.

Mrs. Calloway groaned a little while Grace and Lucky Jack looked at each other and shook their heads.

Meanwhile, Doc used some bread to dip in the soup and shoot it right in his mouth. Sneezy used two spoons to eat more soup while Happy was just eating normally in his way. Dopey used his tongue to lick the soup like a dog and even panted like one. And then he licked his face off. Suddenly, a familiar horse went inside, looking like his normal self. He still wasn't happy about what happened a few moments ago. He smelled the soup and saw that his stomach was growling, so he went towards the table to sit. But also a certain grouchy dwarf walked inside, he smelled the soup, too, and his mouth began to water already. He looked around to see if no one saw him and slowly crawled towards his chair. When he reached the table, he kept sniffing at the food. Then he sat on his chair and saw Buck tasting the soup. He had a smile on his face. He still didn't like Grumpy because of his attitude, but he couldn't help but say the next thing.

"Oh, boy. You've got to taste this, Grumpy," Buck said while he also began to slurp.

Grumpy raised an eyebrow. He looked at the soup, took his spoon, and dipped it into the bowl. He sniffed at it and then he tasted it. Then his eyes went wide and quickly grabbed the bowl closer. He ate the soup and slurped very loudly. Mrs. Calloway, Lucky Jack, and Grace couldn't take it anymore. It made them lose their appetite.

"Please. Please!" Snow White said, but no one listened. Then she grabbed a spoon and clinked it against her bowl. When the dwarfs, Maggie, and Buck heard the clinking, they stopped immediately. All except one. Grumpy was still slurping very loudly until Sleepy made him stop. He gave him a few nudges, and Grumpy was about to hit him. But Sleepy showed him why he did it, and Grumpy already knew the answer.

"Thank you, Snow White. I didn't know how much more I could take from that," Mrs. Calloway said.

"Where did you learn to eat soup that way?" Snow White asked.

"Oh, guess it just come natural," Bashful said.

"Hah. Anybody can do it," Happy said.

"With practice," Bashful said again.

"I'm sorry, boys. But slurping like that isn't good table manners," Mrs. Calloway said.

"Yeah, it is kind of annoying," Lucky Jack said.

"We're sorry, guys. But the soup is so delicious," Maggie said.

"Hahahah. Yes, but you don't understand. This is the way ladies and gentlemen eat soup," Snow White said while she sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen?" the dwarfs asked.

"Yes, it's the most proper and fine way of eating," Mrs. Calloway said.

"It's a lot better than slurping," Grace said.

"Fine," Buck said.

"Now watch. Spoon in the hand, bending the wrist, into the bowl, and out with a twist," Snow White explained while demonstrating it.

"Spoon in the hand, bending the wrist, into the bowl, and out with a twist," the dwarfs, cow, and horse said while doing the same thing.

"Fine! That's perfect!" Mrs. Calloway said with a smile.

"Perfect?!" the dwarfs, Maggie, and Buck said and they did exactly how Snow White showed them, but they slurped again while doing it.

Mrs. Calloway's mouth hung wide open, and Lucky Jack closed it for her. Snow White was about to gasp, but then she shook her head with a smile.

"Well, at least they're improving," Grace said.

So Mrs. Calloway, Grace, Lucky Jack, and Snow White ate their soup on the proper way while the others kept doing the samething.

"So, you arrived here because of a book?" Doc asked Maggie.

"Yes, it was very weird. Although, we had these other experiences like catching this wanted outlaw I know named Alameda Slim, and..." Maggie said, but got interrupted.

"Wait. Who's Alameda Slim?" Happy asked.

"Oh, it's a long story. You see, I used to live at an old farm called Dixon Ranch, and I pretty much had a family of cows, most of them were Longhorns. But then Slim showed up and stole the whole herd, and my owner, Abner, couldn't afford to keep the place. Including me," Maggie answered.

"That's awful," Snow White said.

"I know. He did the same to Lucky Jack's home as well. But in the end, we did return home after we caught Slim," Maggie said.

"So how are you going to get back home if you want to leave? Not that you have to leave, that is," Bashful said.

"I don't know. I'm not even sure if we're gonna get back home, but we're not gonna give up till we find a way back," Maggie said.

"And what's it like living there?" Doc asked.

"Oh, it's not so bad. We've been owned by Pearl herself. She's the ruler of Patch of Heaven, along with the Sheriff. I could just imagine how they're doing back home without us. Boy, have I got a story to tell the other animals there when I get back. That is, if me and my friends ever get back. We lost our homes once, we can't lose another one." Maggie started to worry. Her friends were also a little worried.

Doc saw her expression. "Don't worry, Maggie. I'm sure you'll find a way somehow."

"Yeah. And when you do, you're welcome here anytime. You and your friends. Just like Snow White," Sleepy said, and Snow White smiled at that.

Mrs. Calloway smiled at that, too. "Thank you all so much. You seven are great. The rest of the animals back home would like you if they ever met you." Then she turned her attention to Snow White. "Pearl is kinda like you, Snow White, and not only because she's an owner. She's very kind, caring, and gentle. You'd like her."

"I sure would be delighted to meet your owner someday," Snow White said.

"And we would love to come back as much as we want. That is, if Grumpy wants that," Grace said.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever," Grumpy said while he kept eating.

Buck heard that again. "Really? Aren't you even a teensy bit happy about anything?"

"Not one bit," Grumpy said.

"Well, you should be. Prepare yourself, Mr. Frowny Face, I'm gonna turn that frown upside down," Maggie said with glee, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Really? I'd like to see you try," Grumpy challenged.

"Oh, you bet I do. Because tonight, we're gonna party... Happy style!" Maggie said.

"A party?! Hooray!" the dwarfs yelled, and they kept eating.

In his enthusiasm, Dopey slurped so powerful that his spoon was coming closer to his mouth. When doing it again, the spoon suddenly went into his mouth. When he was about to take another sip, he noticed that his spoon was not in his hand. He looked at his hand and then in his sleeve. He was very confused right now. Then he looked at his bowl of soup and thought it might be in there. So he tried to search inside the soup until suddenly, he started to hiccup again, making bubbles come out of his mouth and something metallic clinked. He hiccuped again, and as a result, he accidentally pushed the bowl away. He rubbed his belly and heard the same metallic sound again. He realized that his spoon was in his belly. The silly dwarf tried to get everyone's attention by pointing inside his mouth in panic, and then he hiccuped again. The dwarfs, cows, Buck, Lucky Jack, and Snow White noticed that.

"Wha-wha-wha... What's the matter with Dopey?" Happy asked.

"He swallowed his spoon," Lucky Jack answered.

"Oh, the poor thing," Grace said.

Dopey kept on hiccuping, making him jump into the air. He tried to hold on tight to his chair, but it didn't work. Both him and the chair jumped into the air while he hiccuped. He kept doing the same thing.

"Hey, get him!" Doc said.

"I got him!" Happy said as he tried to grab Dopey, but failed.

The other dwarfs, cows, horse, and rabbit ran over to catch Dopey. They grabbed the chair, but it went into the air again. They brought it down, but then Dopey went into the air again. Maggie caught him. Sneezy and Sleepy helped her.

"It's okay. I got him," Maggie said, but another hiccup sent Dopey, Sneezy, Sleepy, and Maggie into the air, and then they fell back on the floor.

Happy was standing on a chair. "Open his mouth. I'll get it," he said while he pulled up his sleeve. Sneezy opened Dopey's mouth very wide while Happy stood ready with his arm. "Say 'Ah'."

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Dopey said and hiccuped again, causing to release a bubble that contained the spoon.

"There it is," Grumpy said.

"Grab it!" Buck said.

"I got it!" Happy said.

But when Happy tried to grab it, the bubble popped and the spoon fell back in Dopey's stomach.

"No, no. That'll never work. Turn him upside down. Snake it... Shake it out!" Doc corrected.

Buck and Grumpy held Dopey upside down while trying to shake the spoon out, but it didn't work. Then Grumpy tried by slapping on Dopey's behind.

"Here, I'll get it. Bend him over!" Happy said.

Grumpy and Sneezy bended Dopey over while Happy pulled the underside of his vest aside.

"That's it. There," Happy said and took a few steps backwards. "Ready?"

"Ready!" the dwarfs and animals said in unison.

"Clear the way!" Happy said, and then he ran very fast towards Dopey. Then he got close enough, he quickly gave Dopey a hard kick in his behind, causing both the spoon and the piece of soap to come out of his mouth.

They all stared at it with a smile. Even Grumpy pointed at it with a smile. Snow White ducked and the soap and the spoon both clung against the wall.

"Hooray!" everybody shouted.
