About This Passage
Chosen because this short passage shows Templeton rescuing Wilbur with a sharp bite, and because it holds three of our vocabulary words — tail, bite, and pain — in just two sentences.
He took Wilbur's tail in his mouth and bit it, just as hard as he could bite. The pain revived Wilbur.
