I read my first book in English/ English book, which was Charlotte’s Web.
It’s an amazing book. This book refers to / talks about one family, who is living in a farm. They are Mr. and Mrs. Arable. They have two children/kids, a girl and a boy. They have animals in their farm. / the main characters are the Arable parents, their 2 kids and the animals of the farm.

When Mrs. Arable prepared the breakfast for her daughter she decided to help her.

Fern saw his father left and go to the pig pen. She asked her mother where her father went with his axe

At that moment, her mother said:  yesterday little pigs were born. She explained one of them was a runt, it’s too difficult for that pig to survive. Your father wants to kill him. Fern became crazy and went to catch her father and tried to convince him “don’t kill that pig” / she tried to convince him not to kill the pig.

She asked “Where are you going?  and why do you want to kill that pig?”. Her father said “you know nothing about pigs”. She said “if I had been born weak and fragile, would you have killed me?… It’s an animal who has a life.” That made him think about it / consider… finally he decided not to kill that pig and to give the pig to Fern. Fern needed to give him food with a bottle. And she gave the food everyday in the morning, afternoon, and night / she fed it…. When she is at school, her mother feeds the pig. She is very happy and plays with him. frequently picks him up and walks, if he is tired, she puts him in the cart next to the doll, and sometimes the pig sleeps in her doll’s cart.

One day, when the pig grows up a little bit more, they can have him in the home. They need to do something with him. Mr. Arable said “I will make some box / shelter outside for him because there isn‘t  space for him”. Fern was a bit sad because she thought outside he can get a cold at night. But her father says “no, it’s ok I’ll put some straw, so you can see him this afternoon.
You can see Wilbur, what he does.” She goes there at night, he digs a tunnel in the straw and covers it, so the nights isn’t cold for him. And then, when Wilbur is around 2 months old, her father tells her again” Wilbur is too big, we can’t have to many pigs”. Her father gives some ideas to her, which was to call his uncle Mr Zukerman who has one farm very near to their farm. Mr. Arable says “You can ask your uncle to buy your pig”. Finally, her uncle buys Wilbur for 6 dollars.

Fern goes there every day and she sits near the pig pen and looks at  him hours and hours after school. She spends a lot of time with Wilbur, and her mother says “you need to do other things and not spend all the time in that farm.”
One day when Wilbur is bored, the goose tells him “you can escape”. You can break the wooden board and go out where you want… you can be free. Wilber does that and he is in the orchard. When they run to catch him, the animals tell  him to go to the woods.
He baits Wilbur with food, and makes Wilbur go into the pen.
Finally, he meets Charlotte who is for him  a very interesting friend and he is very excited because Charlotte is very clever and she protects him. Charlotte thinks about how to help him in the winter, and finally she convinces the family’s not to kill him. Finally, Charlotte saves Wilbur’s life.
