Chapter 1
Before Breakfast
1 . What was the injustice that Fern had to rid the world of
so early in the morning?
(Fern had stopped her father from killing the baby pig
that was born small (the runt). Her father said it would
only cause trouble and would probably die soon
anyway. Fern said it was unfair to kill it because it was
so small.)
2. How did Fern feed the baby pig?
(Her mother found a baby’s bottle and rubber nipple
and filled it with warm milk. Fern sat with the pig
between her knees and taught it how to eat from a
bottle.)
3. Why did the students laugh when Fern gave her
answer to the teacher?
(Fern was day dreaming about what she would call her
pig and gave the name of the pig instead of the
answer to the teachers’ question.)

Wilbur
1. How did Wilbur stay warm in his wooden box under the
apple tree?
(He would burrow a hole underneath the straw so he
could no longer be seen and this would keep him
warm.)
2. How did Wilbur spend his days?
(When Fern went to school, Wilbur would follow her to
the bus. On the days Fern was home he would follow
her around. He would follow her into the house and
when she pushed her doll in the carriage. If he got
tired he would fall asleep in the carriage with Fern’s
baby doll. He followed Fern and Avery down to the
brook and played in the mud while they went
swimming.)
3 . Why did Mr. Arable want to sell Wilbur?
(He wanted to sell Wilbur because he was getting big
enough to be sold like his brother and sisters and was
eating more than just milk.)
4 . Who bought Wilbur?
(Fern sold Wilbur to her uncle who lived down the road.
This way she could still see Wilbur.)

again and he was lonely.)
3. How did Wilbur escape?
(The goose told him about a lose board in the fence so
Wilbur pushed against it and got out of his pen.)
4. Why was Wilbur confused when everyone was trying to
get her?

so he got confused. He could not run up and down at
the same time.)
5. Why do you think Wilbur will make a good pig?
(Wilbur will make a good pig because he listened to
Mr. Zuckerman and followed him into the barn instead
of running away.)

Wilbur, but his aim was not good and he threw the
water on Avery and Mr. Zuckerman. Avery was acting
