For Wilbur, nothing in life was as important. He waited patiently for the big day to come. One sunny morning, Wilbur saw something move —a very small spider that looked like Charlotte. Then three more, then eight, then ten ... Charlotte’s children were here at last. “I am an old friend of your mother’s,” said Wilbur. “I am glad to see you.” The little spiders were glad to see him too. One day, Wilbur felt a warm wind come into the barn. As he watched, one baby spider rose into the air. “Good-bye!” it said. “Wait,” Wilbur cried out. “Where are you going?” “We are leaving on the warm wind.” “You can’t all go. I will have no friends,” said Wilbur. “Good-bye!” they called. “Good-bye, good-bye!” This felt like the end of the world to Wilbur. He cried himself to sleep. When he woke up, there were three small spiders on the wall. “Hello! Three of us are staying. We like this place, and we like you,” said a very small spider. It was a happy day for Wilbur. And there were many more happy days. As the months and years came and went, he was never without friends. Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. He loved her children and grandchildren, but they could never take her place in his heart. It is not often that a true friend like her comes along.
