Zavis DaMavis is a happy young boy and a proud resident of a whimsical town called Tweeville. He's off to school one morning when his mom--a very wise woman--gives him an important reminder; treat others the way you want to be treated. But what does it mean to treat others the way you'd like to be treated? While Zavis ponders his mother's advice as he walks to school, he's distracted by an elderly man who needs a hand getting across the street. When he's done helping, he finds that he's forgotten what she said. Zavis must remember his mother's words if he's ever going to understand what they mean. But how can he think when he's so busy being kind to his friends?
