Avery found an empty candy box and put his frog in it. The frog seemed tired after his morning in the swing.
The children walked slowly up toward the barn. They, too, were tired and hardly had energy enough to walk.
“Let's build a tree house,” suggested Avery. “I want to live in a tree, with my frog.”
“I'm going to visit Wilbur,” Fern announced. They climbed the fence into the lane and walked lazily toward the pigpen.
Wilbur heard them coming and got up. Avery noticed the spider web, and, coming closer, he saw Charlotte.
“Hey, look at that big spider!” he said. “It's tremendous.” “Leave it alone!” commanded Fern.
“You've got a frog—isn't that enough?” “That's a fine spider and I'm going to capture it,” said Avery.
He took the cover off the candy box. Then he picked up the stick.
“I'm going to knock that ol' spider into this box,” he said. Wilbur's heart almost stopped when he saw what was going on.
This might be the end of Charlotte if the boy succeeded in catching her.
“You stop it, Avery!” cried Fern. Avery put one leg over the fence of the pigpen.
He was just about to raise his stick to hit Charlotte when he lost his balance.
