He had come from a long line of gluttonous rats. His own father and mother were *VERY* gluttonous and were very fat. Templeton and his seven brothers and sisters liked to snuggle in thier parents' big fat bellies, for they were nice, soft and warm. Templeton's fondest dream was to be the world's fattest rat...and he wasn't doing a very good job at it for the moment. That's because Zuckerman's Farm had no pigs, and therefore, no slop. Templeton lived on what little food he could steal from Zuckerman's kitchen...though he was nearly caught once. At that time, Templeton didn't know who Charlotte was...he saw that there was a spider living in the doorway to the barn, but the spider hardly spoke to him (and neither did most of the animals on the farm, for that matter). Templeton once found a whole apple on the ground and ate all of it (leaving behind the core) , and that was his largest meal to date...and that had been about a week ago or so. Templeton's dream about becoming the world's fattest rat was only known to Templeton himself. Once, he had dreamed about getting so huge and fat, that he was the size of a barn. There was a junk yard half a mile down the road where Templeton could find his food. In fact, he was in the junkyard right now, with early evening coming on.
