Reflections on Wilbur's Impact on the Farm
Homer Zuckerman
Well, what can I say about this pig that hasn't already been said? I know a lot of you folks have come out to the farm and you've seen the words, and a lot of you have asked me, how could this have happened?'. I don't know, but it has happened... at a time when we really don't see many miraculous things. Maybe we do. Maybe they're all right there around us everyday, we just don't know where to look. There's no denying that our own little Wilbur... he's part of something that's bigger than all of us. And life on that farm's just a whole lot better with him in it. He really is some pig.

A Daughter's Concern for a Runt Pig
Fern
What are you doing?
Mr. Arable
Nothing, now go back to bed.
Fern
You're not going to kill it, are you?
Mr. Arable
It's a runt.
Fern
No, it’s not fair! What fault is it if he was born small?
Mr. Arable
Careful!
Fern
If i’d been born small, would kill me?
Mr. Arable
Of course not. A little girl is one thing. A runty pig is another.
Fern
It’s no different! It’s unfair and unjust! How can be so cruel?
Mr. Arable
Come here. I whant to show you something. You see that? You see? Eleven pigs and only ten teats. The sow can’t feed it, honey.
Fern
I’ll feed you an take care of you. I absolutely will not let you kill him.

Identity and Pride in Animal Hierarchy
Templeton
You're a pig! Pig equals slop. The Rat is happy!
Wilbur
My name's Wilbur! Do you have a name or is it just "The Rat"?
Templeton
Did you say "just the Rat'"? For your information, pig: the Rat rules! We were here long before your kind and we'll be here long after. So, you just keep that in mind next time you feel like reducing me to just "the Rat".
Wilbur
You called yourself "The Rat".
Templeton
I can call me that. You can't.
