“You have been my friend,’ replied Charlotte. “That in itself is a tremendous thing.”Charlotte’s Web is one of my favorite books, and I didn’t realize that until I reread it at 21.
I used to watch Charlotte’s Web on a loop when I was little. I even named my first cat after Wilbur… and the second one. (Technically the second one was named after the first one because they looked identical.)
It helped that the one baby spider’s name was Nell.
Ah, memories.
