He noted how clearly it showed up and he noted how big and carefully built it was.
And then he took another look and he saw something that made him set his pail down.
There, in the center of the web, neatly woven in block letters, was a message. It said: “Some Pig!”
Lurvy felt weak. He brushed his hand across his eyes and stared harder at Charlotte's web.
“I'm seeing things,” he whispered. He dropped to his knees and uttered a short prayer.

“I think you'd better come down to the pigpen,” he said. “What's the trouble?” asked Mr. Zuckerman.
“Anything wrong with the pig?” “N-not exactly,” said Lurvy. “Come and see for yourself.”
The two men walked silently down to Wilbur's yard. Lurvy pointed to the spider's web.
“Do you see what I see?” he asked. Zuckerman stared at the writing on the web.
Then he murmured the words “Some Pig.” Then he looked at Lurvy. Then they both began to tremble.
Charlotte, sleepy after her night's exertions, smiled as she watched. Wilbur came and stood directly under the web.
