It’s been years, decades really, since I read Charlotte’s Web, so maybe there’s a simple explanation I missed when I was 8. But this has been haunting me ever since, and I’m hoping for some clarity:

Why did everyone think the pig was so great, and ignored that fact that some spider was writing English words in her web? Anyone?
