About Wilbur[]

Wilbur is a pig. He was born a runt, so John Arable decided to kill him. Fortunately, Fern intervened and begged her father to not kill Wilbur and let her raise him. He relented, but before long, Wilbur grew so big that it led to him being sold to Fern's uncle, Homer Zuckerman. Wilbur eventually found out he could talk, but then was informed that once he matured, he'd be sent to the slaughterhouse. Charlotte A. Cavatica, a spider, saved him from this fate by spinning specific words in her web praising Wilber. Wilbur was honored at the county fair, but by then, Fern had a crush on Henry Fussy, and Charlotte was near death, despite having laid an egg sac. Wilbur is heartbroken when she dies, and later, when most of her daughters leave the farm. Only three stay behind, since they're the runts. They call themselves Joy, Aranea, and Nellie, and become Wilbur's new friends.
