Wilbur is the runt of a litter
born to a pig on the farm of Fern Arable's father. When it is announced
that her
father is going to kill the pig, Fern rushes forth to save it,
asking of her father: "If I had been very small at
birth, would
you have killed me?" Her father spares the pig, but only if
Fern agrees to care for it. Falling in love
immediately with the little
pig, she feeds him regularly with a bottle, and names him Wilbur.
Wilbur is Fern's
constant companion until he grows big
enough to be
transferred to his new home in the barn of Fern's neighboring
uncle.
Fern is able to visit Wilbur, but is unable to see him as often, and
out of boredom, Wilbur begins to befriend
other animals in the barn,
who often patronizingly instruct the still naïve little pig in the
ways of life. His most
important friend, however, turns out to be a
spider named Charlotte, who occupies a web in the corner of a
doorway
above him. Her love for Wilbur, coupled with her ingenuity, will save
Wilbur's life.
