Charlotte's Web

Last week, I started reading a book called Charlotte's Web. You have probably heard of the book, or seen the movie before. I am going to tell you about the book. I am almost finished with the book.

Wilbur, and of course, Charlotte, are the main characters. Fern is the third main character. Fern is the owner of Wilbur. Wilbur is a very terrific, clean, and beautiful pig.... you don't see that very often. Charlotte is a very kind and nice big grey spider.... you don't see that very often, either.

In the beginning, a little eight-year-old girl sees her father with an axe. She asks him what he is doing. He says that there is a pig in the barn that is way littler than all the rest, so he thinks he should kill it. Fern tries to tell him not to, but he refuses. She begs and begs and finally, he decides not to kill it and he gives it to Fern. She named it Wilbur.

Eventually, Wilbur gets really big, so he has to live in Fern's uncle's barn. He got very sad because no one wanted to play with him or be his friend. Just as he was laying down to go to bed, he hears a voice that says, "I will be your friend."

He tells the voice that he can't see it. The voice says that when he wakes up, he will see her, so he went to bed.
