小编推荐理由
每次看完这本小说,我都会眼眶泛泪、感慨良久。我很庆幸,小猪威尔伯在一出生时遇到了纯真善良的弗恩,这个懂得怜惜生命的女孩让他得以生存下来并茁壮成长。我更庆幸,小猪威尔伯在农场遇到了蜘蛛夏洛特,凭借她的聪明才智和编织的网躲过了被人宰杀的命运。作为一只春猪,威尔伯是幸运的,因为很少有猪能像他一样经历四季的变换,而不用走向屠宰场。但于威尔伯而言,或许最弥足珍贵的不是活得长久,而是夏洛特的这份友谊。试问,有多少人会在你寂寞的时候默默陪伴着你?有多少人能在别人揶揄你的时候替你辩护?又有多少人会在你危难之时帮助你,不计任何回报,甚至为此付出自己的生命?生命是渺小的,而友谊是伟大的。它能跨越种族,也能超越生死。虽然夏洛特的离去让我们感到惋惜,但生命中总是要有些遗憾,我们才会念念不忘,才会刻骨铭心。
