"I'll tell you what I'll do," said Templeton.
"I know where there's a package of soap flakes in the woodshed.
It has writing on it.
I'll bring you a piece of the package."
He climbed the rope that hung on the wawll and disappeared through a hole in the celling.
When he came back he had a strip of blue-and-white cardboard in his teeth.
"There!" he said, triumphantly. "How's that?"
Charlotte read the words: "With New Radiant Action."
"What does it mean?" asked Charlotte,
who had never used any soap flakes in her life.
"How should I konw?" said Templeton.
"You asked for words and I brough them.
I suppose the next thing you'll want me to fetch is a dictionary."
Together they studied the soap ad.
"With new radiant action," repeated Charlotte, slowly.
"Wilbur!" she called.
Wilbur, who was asleep in the straw, jumped up.
"Run around!" commanded Charlotte.
"I want to see you in action, to see if you are radiant."
Wilbur raced to the end of his yard.
"Now back again, faster!" said Charlotte.
Wilbur galloped back. His skin shone.
His tail had a fine, tight curl in it.
