Excerpt from Charlotte’s Web

By E B White

Where's Papa going with that ax?" said Fern to

her mother as they were setting the table for

breakfast. "Out to the hog house," replied Mrs.

Arable. "Some pigs were born last night." "I

don't see why he needs an ax," continued

Fern, who was only eight. "Well," said her

mother, "one of the pigs is a runt. It's very

small and weak, and it will never amount to

anything. So your father has decided to do

away with it." "Do away with it?" shrieked Fern.

"You mean kill it? Just because it's smaller

than the others?" Mrs. Arable put a pitcher of

cream on the table. "Don't yell, Fern!" she

said. "Your father is right. The pig would

probably die anyway." Fern pushed a chair

out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass

was wet and the earth smelled of springtime.

Fern's sneakers were sopping by the time

she caught up with her father. "Please don't

kill it!" she sobbed. "It's unfair."

What conclusion can be drawn

about Fern? She is -

• optimistic.

• kindhearted.

• pleasant.

• confident.
