I believed many of us have read this book before, in our teens or even in our adulthood. I caught this show last evening and to me, it is not just purely a pig wanting to survive.
Sypnosis
Fern is one of only two living beings who sees that Wilbur is a special animal as she raises him, the runt of the litter, into a terrific and radiant pig. As Wilbur moves into a new barn, he begins a second profound friendship with the most unlikely of creatures--a spider named Charlotte--and their bond inspires the animals around them to come together as a family. When the word gets out that Wilbur’s days are numbered, it seems that only a miracle will save his life. A determined Charlotte--who sees miracles in the ordinary--spins words into her web in an effort to convince the farmer that Wilbur is “some pig” and worth saving.
To me...
This show tells a sublime message that all of us has a potential regardless what form you may be in. All it needs is someone to recognise that... Just like Wilbur the pig, to many, he is one that will not live through winter as he will be served as pork on the dinner table. Yet, the spider (i.e. Charlotte), recognise that Wilbur is an animal that deserves to live, he is an animal of a potential... she tried her best to save him... and she did. At the end, she died out of exhaustion. It tells us the importance and significance of friendship, between 2 most unlikely creatures.. and how this unique bond, starting from one animal can influence the environment to the rest of the creatures in the barn. Buddhism calls this "esho funi" (oneness of man and environment).
Thinking back.. sometimes, we human are so caught up with our personal pursuits that we forget the pureness and innocence of friendship. We do things always for an ulterior motive, always for a return that will benefit us. Seems like these animals know friendship than we humans do... what do you think ?
