What passage from a book gives you a feeling of nostalgia for a place you've never been, or a sense of well-being?

One I’d pick is from *Ribsy* by Beverly Cleary. It’s about this dog who ends up getting lost, and at one point a really sweet older lady lets him in because he looks like he’s starving. She doesn’t have any dog food, but she makes him scrambled eggs and hangs out with him for a bit. I don’t know, I just remember thinking it sounded so comforting—like a hungry dog trying to find his way home, and somebody actually being kind enough to cook him eggs.
