By then he would be fantastically bloated enough to sleep until Wilbur’s second helping of slops came about, during which he’ll have digested enough to bloat himself further.
Charlotte hears the presentation of the award over the public address system and realizes that the prize means Zuckerman will cherish Wilbur for as long as the pig lives, and will never slaughter him for his meat.
