I bet you've all heard of the book Charlotte's Web, and if you haven't then you missed out on your childhood. Charlotte's Web was my all time favorite book as a child. I've read it over, and over again because it was so interesting to me.
Charlotte's Web is about a pig named Wilbur, and a spider named Charlotte. This story is about Wilbur and Charlotte's friendship. Wilbur was born the runt of the litter, and we all know what people do to runts, they kill them. That's what the farmer wanted to do, until his daughter decided to take Wilbur under her wing and persuade him to kill Wilbur.
One day, Wilbur spotted Charlotte in the corner of the barn, and they started talking. Soon, they became best friends and were inseparable. Charlotte uses her skills of making webs to save Wilbur's life. They become world famous.
I think I was so drawn to that book because it gave me a meaning of friendship. I'm also a animal lover and I found it fascinating that a pig and spider could get along. Looking deeper into the story, it kinda tells us that no matter how you are built, you can manage to be friends with anyone and everyone if you are kind. To this day, I still look at Charlotte's Web as a meaning of friendship. It shows me that true friends don't let their friends go through things alone. That they are in it together because that's what friends do.
