Charlotte's Web is a beautiful tale about a little girl named Fern, and her spring pig named Wilbur, and of Wilbur's dearest friend, a gray trapper spider named Charlotte. Because Wilbur was born a runt among the other pigs, Fern's father decided to kill it. But Fern insisted on keeping the pig. Before long, they sold Wilbur to Fern's uncle, Mr. Zuckerman. It was in Mr. Zuckerman's farm that Wilbur established a strong relationship with Charlotte. In order to save Wilbur from being slaughtered for the Christmas feast, Charlotte devised ways to save him. To find out more on how the beautiful and intelligent spider saves Wilbur from his cruel fate, read the book Charlotte's Web. You'll surely enjoy it because Wilbur truly is, 'some pig'.
