Later, Charlotte sends Templeton to the trash pile on another errand to gather another word for her next message, in which he returns with the word, HUMBLE. Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker goes with Wilbur, Charlotte and Templeton to the fair, Tom stands outside the crate in the truck, Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker rides inside the crate with Wilbur, Charlotte and Templeton all the way to the fair. Following this, Homer decides to enter Wilbur in the county fair for the summer.Ĭharlotte reluctantly decides to accompany him, though Templeton at first has no interest in doing so until Gwen tells him about all the food there so he goes along. For the next message, Charlotte then employs Templeton to pull a word from a magazine clipping at the dump for inspiration, in which he returns the word, RADIANT, ripped from a soap box to spin within her web. The incident becomes another media sensation, though Homer still desires to slaughter Wilbur. After several suggestions, Gwen suggests the phrase, TERRIFIC! TERRIFIC! TERRIFIC!, though Charlotte decides to shorten it to one TERRIFIC. The publicity eventually dies down, and Charlotte requests the barn animals to devise a new word to spin within her web. The incident attracts publicity among Homer's neighbors who deem the praise to be a miracle. The next morning, Homer's farm assistant, Lurvy, sees the words, SOME PIG, spun within Charlotte's web. Eventually, Charlotte reveals her plan to "play a trick on Zuckerman", and consoles Wilbur to sleep.
One of them, named Jeffrey, befriends Wilbur. She tells him that she will come up with a plan guaranteed to spare his life. Cavatica, living on a web overlooking his pig pen. The following morning, she reveals herself to be a spider named Charlotte A. Horrified at this depressing discovery, Wilbur reduces himself to tears while Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker try to cheer him up until a mysterious voice tells him to "chin up", and wait until morning to reveal herself to him. The ram says because it is only a matter of time before they are slaughtered and turned into smoked bacon and ham. At last, Wilbur asks Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker to play with him. He then wants to play with a lamb, but his father says sheep do not play with pigs. He also tries asking a rat named Templeton to play with him, but Templeton's only interests are spying, hiding, and eating. He attempts to get Gwen to play with him, but she declines on the condition that she has to hatch her goslings. Although delighted at this new ability, he still yearns for companionship. At Homer's farm, Gwen the goose coaxes a sullen Wilbur to speak his first words. She sadly says good-bye as he is sold down the street to her uncle, Homer Zuckerman. Fern persuades Tom and Jerry to put their rivalry aside and work on protecting Wilbur from harm.
Six weeks later, he, due to being a spring pig, has matured, and John tells Fern that he has to be sold (his siblings were already sold). She nurtures him lovingly, naming him Wilbur. John decides to spare him and let Fern raise him as a pet.
Fern, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker intervene, telling him that it is absurd to kill him just because he is smaller than the others. But they prove to be useful when they warn Fern about her father farmer John Arable deciding to "do away with" the runt of a litter of piglets. Tom chases Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker all over the Arable farm.
