Sometimes we make friends with unexpected people.For example,who would have thought that a spider would make friends with a pig? But in E.B.White's classic novel "Charlotte's Web",this is exactly what happens.
The pair will appear in a movie at the end of this year.
In the story,Wilbur is an illfated (倒霉的) pig.When he is born,he is so small that the farmer decides to end the pig's life.Fortunately,the farmer's daughter stops him from killing Wilbur and volunteers to raise the pig in a barnyard (谷仓前的空地).
Wilbur grows day by day and makes many friends in the barnyard,including the spider,Charlotte.However,one day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will be served up as dinner.But,Charlotte is determined to save her friend from this danger.By making words such as "famous pig" in her web,she persuades the farmer that Wilbur is some sort of supernatural (神奇的) animal,too important to kill.After Wilbur is saved,Charlotte is so tired that she finally dies.
Unusually,the author makes a spider the heroine (女英雄) of the book.Spiders are normally creatures many people regard with fear.Charlotte does everything in her power to keep Wilbur alive.It shows how a strong friendship can last through the worst possible times.
Who would you like to make friends with if you could?
