The story begins with a little girl called Fern Arable.During breakfast,she saw her father,John Arable,out of the house with an axe.Her mother explained that her father discovered that a few piglets were born last night and one piglet was a runt,so Mr Arable is going to do away with it.After hearing what her mother said,Fern rushed out of the house and tried to stop her father in killing the pig.Her father hesitated into killing the pig when Fern told him lots of things.In the end,Fern got to raise the little pig.She raised it on a bottle,just like you and me, when we were little.Fern called it Wilbur.A few weeks later,her father told her that she could sell the pig to her uncle,Mr Homer Zuckerman and his wife,Aunt Edith,Mrs Zuckerman for six dollars.Her uncle agreed.Wilbur got to know more friends and one of his friends,Charlotte,proved that she was loyal to the very end.

Scurvy

Scurvy
Scurvy (N.Lat. scorbutus) is a disease resulting from insufficient intake of vitamin C, which is required for correct collagen synthesis in humans. The scientific name of vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is derived from the Latin name of scurvy, scorbutus. Scurvy leads to the formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from all mucous membranes. The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth.
Scurvy was at one time common among sailors, pirates and others aboard ships at sea longer than perishable fruits and vegetables could be stored, and by soldiers similarly separated from these foods for extended periods. It was described by Hippocrates (c. 460 BC–c. 380 BC). Herbal cures for scurvy have been known in many native cultures since prehistory. In 1536, the French explorer Jacques Cartier, exploring the St. Lawrence River, used the local natives' knowledge to save his men who were dying of scurvy. He boiled the needles of the arbor vitae tree (Eastern White Cedar) to
make a tea that was later shown to contain 50 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams.[1][2] Suchtreatments were not available aboard ship, where the disease was most common. It was a Scottish surgeon in the British Royal Navy, James Lind who first proved it could be treated with citrus fruit in experiments he described in his 1753 book, A Treatise of the Scurvy.
In infants, scurvy is sometimes referred to as Barlow's disease, named after Sir Thomas Barlow,[3] a British physician who described it. (N.B. Barlow's disease may also refer to mitral valve prolapse.) Other eponyms include Moeller's disease and Cheadle's disease.
Symptoms
The symptoms include, dark purplish spots on skin; especially the legs, spongy gums; often leading to tooth loss, bleeding from all mucous membranes, pallor, bleeding gums, sunken eyes, opening of healed scars; separation of knitted bone fractures, nosebleeds, non-stopping diarrhea, and nail loss.
