Webquest

Welcome to the World of Charlotte's Web This story is a delightful one about friendship between a girl named Fern and a pig named Wilbur.

The story begins as Wilbur is born the runt of the litter. Fern's father, Mr. Arable, decides to end the pig's life as he would cost too much to raise. His daughter, Fern, is horrified by the fact that Wilbur might die so she begs her father to allow her to raise Wilbur. Mr. Arable gives in to Fern until Wilbur gets too big and then he is moved to the Zuckerman's farm. Fern visits Wilbur every day at the Zuckerman's. It is at this farm where most of the magic of the story takes place.
