1.Read the passage and answer the questions given. One day, on a small farm in Maine, a man sat in a barn watching a large gray spider spin a web. The man was E. B. White. E. B.—or Andy, as he was called—thought spiders were spectacular creatures. He thought that one day he might like to write a children’s book about a spider.

But writing was hard work for Andy. He had written many articles and essays and poems. He had also written one children’s book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just rush to turn an idea into an article or book. He told his editor that he needed to let his ideas “ripen.”

So for years, Andy continued to think about writing a children’s book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he meandered around his farm.
Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider’s egg sac. Andy wanted to see the eggs hatch. But he was scheduled to leave for a trip to New York City. So he found a small box and carefully placed the egg sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. One morning he woke up, and there were hundreds of baby spiders scurrying across the dresser!

Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte’s Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur. Andy created most of the book sitting by himself in the tiny boathouse of his farm. Sometimes he stopped writing and doodled pictures of spiders. Andy always said Charlotte’s Web was more than just a children’s story about animals. It was a timeless story about true friendship.
