Have you ever been down and needed a friend? We all have, so it’s good to have someone you can rely on. For Wilbur the pig, that person—or spider—is Charlotte. 

Wilbur lives on a farm, and there’s only one reason farmers keep pigs: pork. After he’s saved by a girl named Fern, Wilbur is sold to another farmer, so it’s up to Charlotte to come up with a plan to save Wilbur’s life.

Friendship is at the heart of Charlotte’s Web ( 1952 ) by American writer E. B. White. Wilbur and Charlotte are loyal to each other until the end. They are both willing to do anything for each other. They accept each other’s flaws and look past them.

In this excerpt（节选） from Charlotte’s Web, Wilbur doesn’t have a positive view of Charlotte at first, but that changes later.
