chapter 5 Charlotte's the night seemed long Wilbur stomach was empty and his mind was full and when your stomach is empty and your mind is full it's always hard sleep a dozen times during the night Wilbur woke and stared into the Blackness listening to the stomach listening to the sounds and trying to figure out what time it was a barn is never perfectly quiet even at midnight there's usually some something stirring the first time he woke he heard Templeton 9 a hole in the grain bin Templeton teeth scraped loudly against the wood and quite a racket. Crazy Rap. Wilbur why does he have to stay up all night grinding his Clashers and destroying people's property why can't he go to sleep like any decent anime the second time Wilbur woke he heard the goose turning on her nest and chuckling to herself whisper Goose whispered Wilbur to Goose probably obviously about half past 11 said the goose why aren't you asleep welder too many things on my mind said Wilbur well so that's not my trouble I have nothing at all on my mind but I have too many things under my behind have you ever tried to sleep while sitting on eggs no reply. Wilbur I suppose it is on come how long does it take a goose egg to hatch approximately approximately 30 days all told answered the goose but I cheat a little on warm afternoons I just straw over the eggs and go out for a walk Wilbur yawned and went back to sleep in his dreams he hurt again the voice sang I'll be a friend to you go to sleep Jimmy in the morning about a half an hour before Dawn Wilbur woke and listened the barn was still dark the she play motionless even the goose was quiet overhead on the main floor nothing stirred the cows were resting the horses dozed Templeton had quit work and gone off somewhere on an errand the only sound that was ReSound was a slight scraping noise from the rooftop where the Weathervane swung back and forth wilderlove the barn when it was like this calm and quiet waiting for light day is almost here he thought through a small window a faint gleam appeared check here one by one the Stars went William Wilbur could see the goose a few feet away she sat with head tucked under a wing then he could see the sheep and Lambs the sky lightened people day it is here at last today I shall find my friend Wilbur looked everywhere he searched his pen thoroughly examined the window ledge stared up at the ceiling but he saw nothing new finally he decided he would have to speak up he hated to break the lonely Stillness of Dawn by using his voice but he couldn't think of any other way to locate the mysterious new free who is nowhere to be seen so Wilbur cleared his throat attention please he said in a loud firm voice will the party who addressed men at beds last night kindly make himself or herself known by giving an appropriate sign or signal Wilbur paused and listened all the other animals lifted their heads and stare Wilbur blushed but he was determined to get in touch with his unknown friend attention please she said I will repeat the message will the party who addressed me at bedtime kindly speak up please tell me where you are if you are my friend the ship looked at each other and disgust stop your nonsense Wilbur cheap if you have a new friend here you're probably disturbing the rest and the quickest way to spoil a friendship is to wake somebody up in the morning before he is ready how can you be your friend is an early riser I beg everyone to Pardon Whispers Wilbur I didn't mean to be a section of all he laid down meekly in the manure facing the door he did not know it but his friend was very near and The Old Ship was right the friend was still asleep dual RV appeared with swaps for breakfast Wilbur Rush. ate everything in a hurry and licked the trough the ship moved off down the lane the gander Waddles along behind them pulling grass and just and then just as Wilbur with settling down for his morning nap she heard again that's in the voice that had addressed him the night before salutations said the voice Wilbur jumped to his feet sell you what she cried salutations Reviving repeated The Voice what are they and where are you screamed Wilbur please please tell me where you are and what are salutations salutations our greetings said the voice when I say salutations is just my fancy way of saying hello or good morning actually silly expression and I am surprised that I used it at all as for my whereabouts that's easy look up here in the corner of the doorway here I am look up at last Wilbur saw the creature that had spoken to him in such a kindly way stretched across the upper part of the doorway was a big spider web and hanging from the top of the web head down in a large with a large gray spider she was about the size of a gumdrop she had eight legs and she was waving one of them at Wilbur and friendly greeting See Me Now he asked oh yes indeed said Wilbur yes indeed how are you good morning salutations very pleased to meet you what is your name please may I have your name stop and show you you guys may or may not have the book so there's Wilbur looking up in the doorway Sears history it's been calling out salutations my name's to the spider is Charlotte Charlotte what is release Charlotte Charlotte a optica but just call me Charlotte I think you're beautiful said Wilbur will I am pretty flights Charlotte there's no denying that almost all spiders are rather nice-looking not as flashy as some but I'll do I wish I could see you Wilbur as clearly as you can see me why can't you ask the pig I'm right here yes but I'm nearsighted replied Charlotte I've always been dreadfully nearsighted it's good in some ways not so good First Watch Me wrapped up just fly a slide that have been crawling along Wilbur's trough had flown up and blundered into the lower part of Charlotte's Web and was Tangled and it's sticky 3 the fly was beating its wings furiously trying to break loose and free itself first said Charlotte I dive at him she plunged head-first toward the fly dropped a tiny silken thread on wound from her rear end next I wrap him up she grabbed the fly through a few Jets of silk around it and rolled it over and over wrapping it so that it couldn't move Google Sphere Charlotte from wrapping Supply Wilbur Watts horror she could hardly believe what he was seeing and although he detested flies he was sorry for this one there since Charlotte now I knock him out so he'll be more comfortable she asked why he can't feel a thing now she remarked to make a perfect breakfast for me you mean you eat flies gas Wilbur's flies bugs grasshoppers Choice Beatles mom's butterflies Caskey tasty cockroaches Nats midges daddy long legs centipedes mosquitoes crickets anything that is careless enough to get caught in my web I have to live don't I why yes of course simple over do they taste good delicious course I don't really eat them make them drink their blood I love blood since Charlotte and her Pleasants invoice grew even thinner and more pleasant don't say that strong Wilbur please don't say things like that it's true and I have to say what is true I am not entirely happy about my diet of flies and bugs but it's the way I'm made a spider has to pick up a living somehow for other and I happen to be a Trapper I just naturally build a web and trap flies and other insects my mother was a Trapper before me her mother was a Trapper before her all our family have been Trappers way back for thousands and thousands of years we spiders have been have been laying for flies and bugs it's a miserable in Merchants that Wilbur gloomily she was sad because his new friend was so bloodthirsty yes it is agreed to Charlotte but I can't help it I don't know how the first spider in the early days of the world happened to sync up this fancy idea of spinning a web that she did and it was clever of her too and since then all of us spiders had to work the same trick it's not on the whole it's cruel replied replied Wilbur Who did not intend to be argued out of his position will you can't talk since Charlotte your meals brought to you in a pail nobody sees me I have to get my own living I live by my wits I have to be sharp and clever left I go hungry I have to think shout cats what I can take what comes and it just so happens my friend that what comes is flies and insects and bugs and furthermore said Charlotte shaking four legs do you realize that if I didn't catch bugs and eat them bugs would increase and multiply and get so numerous that they destroy the Earth wiped out everything Wilbur I wouldn't want that to happen perhaps your web is a good thing after all the goose have been listening to this conversation and chuckling to herself there are a lot of things Wilbur does know about life she thought he's really a very innocent little pig he doesn't even know what's going to happen to him around Christmas time he has no idea that mr. sucker man and Erp I'm going to kill him and the goose raised herself a bit and poked her eggs a little further under her so that they would receive the full sheet from her warm body and soft feathers Charlotte's 2 quietly over the fly preparing to eat it will there lay down and close his eyes he was tired from his wakeful night and from the excitement of meeting someone for the first time a breeze brought him the smell of clover the sweet-smelling world Beyond his fence well he thought I've got a new friend all right but what friendship is Charlotte is pierced brutal one thirsty everything I don't like how can I learn to be like her know I'm sorry how could I learn to like her even though she pretty and of course clever Wilbur was merely suffering the doubts and fears that often go with finding a new friend in good time he was to discover that he was mistaken about Charlotte underneath her rather bold and cruel exterior she had a kind heart and she was to prove loyal and true to the very end the end of chapter 5
