在这本经典小说中,E. B. 怀特讲述了小猪威尔伯在他那机智的朋友夏洛特和那些爱聊天的动物邻居的帮助下成名的动人故事。威尔伯是一窝猪仔中个头最小的,他从一出生就在努力活下去。弗恩恳求父亲让她喂养威尔伯并照顾他直到他长壮实些。她做到了,于是威尔伯搬到了朱克曼农场。在农场里,他结识了聪明的灰蜘蛛夏洛特,并从她那儿领悟到了友谊的真谛。当真相渐渐明朗,威尔伯享受好吃好喝的待遇原来是人们另有所图,夏洛特和威尔伯决定破坏农场主朱克曼先生的计划。在夏洛特和她织就的一张张“了不起的”蛛网、老鼠坦普尔顿以及农场里的其他朋友的帮助下,威尔伯在县农产品展上获奖,并成为有史以来最有名气的猪。
小编推荐理由
每次看完这本小说,我都会眼眶泛泪、感慨良久。我很庆幸,小猪威尔伯在一出生时遇到了纯真善良的弗恩,这个懂得怜惜生命的女孩让他得以生存下来并茁壮成长。我更庆幸,小猪威尔伯在农场遇到了蜘蛛夏洛特,凭借她的聪明才智和编织的网躲过了被人宰杀的命运。作为一只春猪,威尔伯是幸运的,因为很少有猪能像他一样经历四季的变换,而不用走向屠宰场。但于威尔伯而言,或许最弥足珍贵的不是活得长久,而是夏洛特的这份友谊。试问,有多少人会在你寂寞的时候默默陪伴着你?有多少人能在别人揶揄你的时候替你辩护?又有多少人会在你危难之时帮助你,不计任何回报,甚至为此付出自己的生命?生命是渺小的,而友谊是伟大的。它能跨越种族,也能超越生死。虽然夏洛特的离去让我们感到惋惜,但生命中总是要有些遗憾,我们才会念念不忘,才会刻骨铭心。
