Dear Reader,
I receive so many
letters from children that I can't answer them all. That is why I am sending
you this printed reply. I'll try to answer some of the 1 asked questions.
Where did I get the2for CHARLOTTE'S WEB? Well, one
day when I was3my way to feed the pig, I
began feeling 4for it because most pigs
were doomed (注定)to die. This made me sad, so
I started thinking of ways to _5a pig's life. I had been
watching a spider at her work and was6by how clever she was at
weaving. Gradually I 7the spider into the story
that you know. Three years8I started writing it, it
was published.
Sometimes I'm asked how
old I was when I started writing, and what made me write. I started 9—as soon as I could spell.
In feet, I can't10any time in my life when I
wasn't busy writing. I don't know why, but I think children often find pleasure
in trying to11their thoughts on paper, either
in12or in pictures.
Are my stories true, you
ask? No, they are imaginary tales,13fantastic characters and
events. In real life, a spider doesn't spin (吐丝)words in her web.14, 1 think there is some 15 in my stories—truth about the way people and
animals feel and think and act.
Thank you all for your
wonderful letters.
Yours sincerely,
E.B. White
