Why Charlotte's Web is my favourite book

I will tell you how I came across this beautiful book and what made me read it. I used to read only a few books in my childhood, mostly in my native language. Then, after several year, getting a secret inspiration from one of my friend I decided to read some English novels. It was very hard for me and I usually stop after reading a few pages. I used to read quotes taken from books. And one day I came across this quote;

'Why did you do all this for me?' he asked. 'I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.'
'You have been my friend', replied Charlotte. 'That's in itself is a tremendous thing'

- E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

These line made a great impact on me and inspired me to read the full book. I completed it in a few days. I was very much inspired by the characters in the novel, mostly Charlotte. And this book taught me the importance and value of friendship in our life. And the sacrifice of Charlotte for her friend Wilbur made this my favourite book ever.
