8、ad already been determined. Luckily, he met Charlotte, Fern and the other friends who changed his fate. Before Wilburs appearance, everyone in the barn did not seem to like playing. They killed the time every day. Wilbur was so lovely that he brought them a lot of happiness and became a member of th

9、em soon. But Wilbur still felt lonely sometimes. One morning he made a new friend called Charlotte. However, she didnt appeal to others because of her ugly appearance and her hunting skills. On the contrary, Wilbur did not show any prejudice. Charlotte Charlotte is a kindhearted, intelligent charact

10、er and also a good friend. In order to keep her promise to Wilbur, she even cost her life. She is a graceful(优雅的) dancer in the dark night when she is spinning webs . She uses her intelligence to save Wilburs life. On foggy mornings, Charlottes web was truly a thing of beauty. This morning each thin

Even Lurvy, who wasnt particularly interested in beauty, noticed the web when he came with the pigs breakfast. He noted how clearly

Next morning, Wilbur arose and stood beneath the web. He breathed the morning air into his lungs. Drops of dew, catching th

14、e sun, made the web stand out clearly. When Lurvy arrived with breakfast, there was the handsome pig, and over him, woven neatly in block letters, was the word TERRIFIC. Another miracle. Wilbur was now the center of attraction on the farm. Good food and regular hours were showing results: Wilbur was

15、 a pig any man would be proud of . One day more than a hundred people came to stand at his yard and admire him. Charlotte had written the word RADIANT(光芒四射的), and Wilbur really looked radiant as he stood in the golden sunlight. Ever since the spider had befriended him, he had done his best to live u

And now that the web said RADIANT, he did everything possible to make himself glow(绚丽夺目). “Maybe theyre all right there around us

A spiders life cant help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyones life can stand a little of that. CharlotteComments:In our life, we can always see people complain about the trifles, and some people even commit suicides, isnt it ridiculous?
