About This Passage
This passage shows Charlotte's fourth and final word glowing in the web after a long day. Three vocabulary words — WORD, HUMBLE, and TIRED — live right inside the sentences, so copying the passage lets a young reader feel each word in its real home.
Charlotte had finished her web. The word HUMBLE was woven neatly in the center. Nobody noticed it in the darkness. Everyone was tired and happy.
