Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White




Fern asked her mom where her dad was going with an ax. Her mom told her that he was going to kill a runt that was just born. She ran outside and begged him not to kill it. She asked her dad if she could keep it. Fern decided to name it Wilbur. She took care of Wilbur and fed him out of a bottle.

When Wilbur was a month old, her dad said he was too big for her to keep. Mr. Arable, her dad, decided to sell Wilbur to her uncle Mr. Zuckerman. He called Mr. Zuckerman and offered him for six dollars. That did not stop Fern from visiting Wilbur. Every day Fern went to visit Wilbur from across the street. Fern watched Wilbur grow up.

One night was a dark and very quiet night in the barn. Wilbur heard a soft and gentle voice calling him. He asked for who ever it was to show their face. No one answered. By the next morning when Wilbur awoke he heard the same soft and gentle voice he had heard the night before. Please show your face he begged. Charlotte introduced herself to Wilbur.

One day a sheep told Wilbur that he would be killed by winter. Wilbur told every thing to Charlotte. Charlotte had promised to come up with a plan to save Wilbur. Charlotte had come up with the idea of making a web with words on it.

The next morning, there was a message spun in the web above Wilbur’s trough. People from all over the country came to see. Everybody thought that Wilbur made it. Mr. Zuckerman decided to enter Wilbur into a competition.

Charlotte convinced all the animals to help her make a new web with a special message that was sure to save Wilbur. And her plan to save Wilbur’s life worked. Charlotte was a true friend.
