Off to the Fair
THE NIGHT before the County Fair, everybody went to bed early.
Fern and Avery were in bed by eight. Avery lay dreaming that the Ferris wheel had stopped and that he was in the top car.
Fern lay dreaming that she was getting sick in the swings. Lurvy was in bed by eight-thirty.
He lay dreaming that he was throwing baseballs at a cloth cat and winning a genuine Navajo blanket.
Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerman were in bed by nine. Mrs. Zuckerman lay dreaming about a deep freeze unit. Mr. Zuckerman lay dreaming about Wilbur.
He dreamt that Wilbur had grown until he was one hundred and sixteen feet long and ninety-two feet high
and that he had won all the prizes at the Fair and was covered with blue ribbons and even had a blue ribbon tied to the end of his tail.
Down in the barn cellar, the animals, too, went to sleep early, all except Charlotte.
Tomorrow would be Fair Day. Every creature planned to get up early to see Wilbur off on his great adventure.
When morning came, everybody got up at daylight. The day was hot.
Up the road at the Arables' house, Fern lugged a pail of hot water to her room and took a sponge bath.
