Charlotte's Web Fair Activities

In Chapter 17 of Charlotte's Web, the characters arrive at the fair, where the children explore independently. Wilbur is placed in a new pen, and Charlotte observes a large pig named Uncle, who poses a threat to Wilbur's chances of winning a prize. Charlotte is concerned about Uncle's size, while Wilbur worries about the competition. The family reunites for lunch in the afternoon heat, and the chapter concludes with a discussion of the main idea: the challenge posed by Uncle.
