    The writer, E. B. White wrote Charlotte's Web.

    One day, on a small farm in Maine, a man sat in a barn(谷仓) watching a large grey spider spin(结网) a web. The man was E. B. White. E. B., or Andy, as he was called, thought spiders were special animals. The American writer thought that one day he might like to write a children's book about a spider.

    But writing was hard work for Andy. He wrote many articles, and poems. He also wrote one children's book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just hurry to turn an idea into an article or a book. He said that he needed to let his ideas ripen.

    So for years, Andy continued(继续) to think about writing a children's book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he walked slowly around his farm.

    Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider's egg sac. Andy decided to see the egg hatch(孵化). But he had to leave for a trip to New York City. So he found a small box and put the sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. One morning he woke up, and there were hundreds of baby spiders running across the dresser!

    Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte's Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and pig named Wilbur. Andy wrote most of the books in the small boat house of his farm.

    Sometimes he stopped writing and drew pictures of spiders. Andy always said Charlotte's Web was more than just a children's story about animals. It was a timeless story about true friendship.
