Charlotte's
Web (《夏洛特的网》) is a
classic children's novel written by an American author, E.B. White. The novel tells
the story of a pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a spider (蜘蛛) named Charlotte.
Wilbur
is the 11th baby of his mother. Since his mother can only feed ten babies at
one time, the farmer plans to kill Wilbur. Kind-hearted little Fern saves him
and scents him to a nearby farm. Animals on the farm refuse to befriend
Wilbur, so Wilbur feels lonely. However, Charlotte welcomes this new member and
is glad to make friends with him.
Knowing
what is going to happen to Wilbur (as the farm owner plans to kill him for
sale), Charlotte promises to make a plan to save his life. She writes a lot of
good things about Wilbur on her web and makes him famous. Charlotte succeeds in
saving Wilbur's life, but she dies as she is too old. Luckily, she leaves three
baby spiders. More and more generations of spiders continue to be with Wilbur.
