Charlotte's Web
Wilbur lay resting after the excitement and
strain of the ceremony. His medal still hung from his neck; by looking out of
the comer of his eye he could see it.
"Charlotte," said Wilbur after a
while, "why are you so quiet?" "I like to sit still," she
said. "I've always been rather quiet." "Yes, but you seem
specially so today. Do you feel all right?" "A little tired, perhaps.
But I feel peaceful. Your success in the ring this morning was, to a small
degree, my success. Your future is assured. You will live, secure and safe,
Wilbur. Nothing can harm you now… All these sights and sounds and smells will
be yours to enjoy, Wilbur—this lovely world, these precious days. Charlotte
stopped. A moment later a tear came to wilbur's eye. "Oh, Charlotte,"
he said. "To think that when I first met you I thought you were cruel and
bloodthirsty!" When he recovered from his emotion, he spoke again.
"Why did you do all this for me?" he
asked. "I don't deserve it I've never done anything for you." "You
have been my friend," replied Charlotte. "That in itself is a
tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all,what's
a life, anyway?… By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a
trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that." "Well,"
said Wilbur. "I'm no good at making speeches. I haven't got your gift for
words. But you have saved me, Charlotte, and I would gladly give my life for
you—I really would." "I'm sure you would. And I thank you for your
generous sentiments." "Charlotte", said Wilbur. "The Fair
is almost over, Aren't you anxious to get home?" For a moment Charlotte
said nothing. Then she spoke in a voice so low that Wilbur could hardly hear
the words.
"I will not be going back to the barn,"
she said.
Wilbur leapt to his feet. "Not going
back?" he cried. "Charlotte, what are you talking about?"
"I'm done for," she replied. "In
a day or two I'll be dead. I haven't even strength enough to climb down into
the crate. I doubt if I have enough silk in my spinnerets to lower me to the
ground." Hearing this, Wilbur threw himself down in an agony of pain and
sorrow. Great sobs racked his body. ... "I won't leave you here alone to
die. If you're going to stay here I shall stay, too." "Don't be
ridiculous," said Charlotte. "You can't stay here. Zuckerman and
Lurvy and John Arable and the others will be back any minute now, and they'll
shove you into that crate and away you'll go."
Wilbur was in a panic. he raced round and round
the pen. Suddenly he had an idea he thought of the egg sac and the five hundred
and fourteen little spiders that would hatch in the spring. If Charlotte
herself was unable to go home to the barn, at least he must take her children
along.
