Chapter 4 - Loneliness
The next day was rainy and dark. Rain fell on the roof of the barn and dripped steadily from the eaves. Rain fell in the barnyard and ran in crooked courses down into the lane where thistles and pigweed grew. Rain spattered against Mrs. Zuckerman's kitchen windows and came gushing out of the downspouts. Rain fell on the backs of the sheep as they grazed in the meadow. When the sheep tired of standing in the rain, they walked slowly up the lane and into the fold.
...
"One day just like another," Wilbur groaned. "I'm very young, I have no real friend here in the barn, it's going to rain all morning and all afternoon, and Fern won't come in such bad weather. Oh, honestly!" And Wilbur was crying again, for the second time in two days.
At six-thirty Wilbur heard the banging of a pail. Lurvy was standing outside in the rain, stirring up breakfast.
"C'mon, pig!" said Lurvy.
Wilbur did not budge. Lurvy dumped the slops, scraped the pail, and walked away. He noticed that something was wrong with the pig.
Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love. He wanted a friend - someone who would play with him. He mentioned this to the goose, who was sitting quietly in a corner of the sheepfold.
"Will you come over and play with me?" he asked.
"Sorry, sonny, sorry," said the goose. "I'm sitting-sitting on my eggs. Eight of them. Got to keep them toasty-oasty-oasty warm. I have to stay right here, I'm no flibberty-ibberty-gibbet. I do not play when there are eggs to hatch. I'm expecting goslings."
"Well, I didn't think you were expecting woodpeckers," said Wilbur, bitterly.
Wilbur next tried one of the lambs.
"Will you please play with me?" he asked.
"Certainly not," said the lamb. "In the first place, I cannot get into your pen, as I am not old enough to jump over the fence. In the second place, I am not interested in pigs. Pigs mean less than nothing to me."
"What do you mean, less than nothing?" replied Wilbur. "I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is."
"Oh, be quiet! " said the lamb. "Go play by yourself! I don't play with pigs."
Sadly, Wilbur lay down and listened to the rain.
Wilbur: Hi. My name's Wilbur. Anyone want to play? Anyone?
Wilbur: It's raining, you know. And you know what you get with rain?
Cows: Lightning. Typhoons. Cholera. Dysentery. Frizzy hair. That sad feeling.
Wilbur: No, mud!
Horse: What the heck is he doing now?
Wilbur: Hey, come on. You wanna join me? Come on! Let's go!
Sheep: Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Sheep: Let's not. How many times must I tell you? Just because we're sheep, it doesn't mean we have to follow. Think for yourselves.
Sheep: Yourselves. Quite right! Myself
Horse: Hey, kid, this is a barn. We don't play, we work. Some of us, anyway.
Sheep: "Some of us"? Are you implying, lke, that we don't work? Because we work bloody hard, thank you!
Horse: Hard? You grow hair!
Gussy: They’re at it again.
Wilbur: It's really slippery. That's the fun part!
Gussy: Little itty-bitty pig, could you come here, please? You said your name is Wilbur, right?
Wilbur: That's right. What's your name?
Gussy: Gussy.
Wilbur: Gussy? Great name!
Gussy: Thank you, Wilbur. Now, you're so cute and pink, but you're wasting your time. These animals won't play.
Wilbur: What about you?
Gussy: Me? Well, I have to stay on my eggs.
Wilbur: Oh, wow! Look at that!
Gussy: Otherwise, of course, I'd love to play.
Wilbur: So, why can't you play?
Gander: Because what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Wilbur: What about the rest of you? Don't any of you like to play?
Cow: Can't play on three empty stomachs.
Sheep: Well, for us there's this whole smell-of-wet-wool business. Ghastly!
Gussy: See? I'm afraid it's just not a play kind of place.
Wilbur: But you're all friends, right?
Gander: Oh, sure. We've been here together our whole lives.
Wilbur: I'm not so sure being in the same place is the same as being friends.
