One of my favourite childhood novels…

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.

-Charlotte, “Charlotte’s Web”

    Love!

    I absolutely adore that book! I have it somewhere at home — thank you, I will search for it and give it another reading…it’s such an awesome story :) I think I watched the cartoon-version of the movie when I was really little…and I wanna see how well Dakota Fanning portrayed Fern…
