As Uncle Homer's farm is not too far fom Fern's house, Fern visisted Wilbur everyday. But as days pass by, Wilbur started to get bored as there was no fun and no friends to play with him. But one day, a spider named Charlotte showed up and became friends with Wilbur. Charlotte also saved Wilbur's life by spinning a web to say that Wilbur is RADIANT, SOME PIG etc. Then one day, Homer decided to bring Wilbur to the fair to have a competition. And Charlotte went there too after much persuation from Wilbur. And as they need someone who can find words, they asked Templeton the rat to follow.
When they reached there, Charlotte went to see the pig competiting and found out that the pig was a dirty but huge one. And also, he cracks lame jokes. Charlotte also spun a web indicating that Wilbur was HUMBLE. But as Charlotte was ageing, she had not much strength left to move. Charlotte had also made an egg sac containing five hundred and forteen eggs.
The next day when Homer arrives, he saw the web saying that Wilbur was humble. However, Lurvy saw a blue tag on the other pig's pen, which means that the pig won the first prize already. Upon seeing this, Zukerman quickly tok buttermilk out and help Wilbr to bath. And soon, a large crowd gathered. Then suddenly, an announcment saying that a special prize would be given to Wilbur. Everyone was so happy.
However, when Wilbur was about to take the medal, he fainted. This time round, Templeton the rat came to his rescue by bitting his tail. After that, Wilbur went back to where charlotte was. At there, Charlotte told him that she would not be going home with him as she was going to die. So, Wilbur decided to take her egg sac back. And as Wilbur could not reach, he has to ask Templeton for his help and in return, Wilbur must let him eat first.
Days passed by and Charlotte's baby hatched from the egg. However, they flewed away. Wilbur was so sad that he was in tears and then, he went to sleep. On the next day, he realized that 3 of Charlotte's daughters had stayed. And from that day onwards, Wilbur was never lonely. He was not killed by Homer. However, he still could not forget his best friend, Charlotte.
