-----------------------------------------
The day after Charlotte spun the word, “radiant,” into her web, was perhaps the most exciting turnout the farm had ever had. As news once more spread around the county, another influx of people flocked to the farm. In that same week, over one hundred people arrived in a single day to watch Wilbur be radiant, watching the pig perform several tricks and jumps with a half twist for their entertainment. With the crowds bigger and more vibrant than ever, Templeton had yet again gone through another corpulent transformation.
Having trained his stomach to gorge on an obscene amount of food, the rat ate with extreme abandon within his trash barrel by the house. He took full advantage of the old sheep’s suggestion, spending the entirety of each day laying on his back, eating whatever leftovers that managed to get tossed away. From early morning until the sun went down, until the word on Charlotte’s web lost its visibility in the dark, Templeton feasted at the detriment of his own stomach. So heedless was he of its incredible strain, he’d often pass out in a food induced coma, only to wake up unbearably full—find himself buried under a mountain of food—eat some more—then pass out again.
Life resembled a dream for everyone on the farm thanks to Wilbur’s fame. Though the other animals feared all the attention would get to Wilbur’s head, he remained the same loveable pig and dear friend. The excitement of it all drastically improved his appetite, and with Templeton allocating his existence to the trash, Wilbur had free reign over his slops in their entirety. He grew into a pig any farmer would be happy to have, and with the announcement of the county fair coming up, Wilbur did his best to look his best.
Once the crowds had finally calmed down, Templeton finally managed to finish his mountain of leftover food and allowed himself to rest long enough for his feast to digest. Some of the other animals occasionally spoke to Templeton from across the trash to check up on him, but nobody had seen so much as a whisker of him for over two weeks. After summer had ended and the coolness of fall began setting in, he crawled out of the trash, confounding everyone as the hulking orb of black and gray fur he had become.
Belly pooling around his limbs as he waded along the ground like an alligator, the rat had blown up to the size of a massively obese raccoon. Leaning upright against the fence near the trough, the shapely rat’s body had double the goose and gander in size. Practically a walking stomach, his head appeared to sink into his body, with his cheeks squishing against a large ring of neck fat. The struggle to manage such a corpulent figure proved taxing, but the rat had never felt more enormously pleased with himself.
In the coming days, Templeton was in no short supply of joviality. Constantly, he would compliment his own size, crack jokes about his enormity compared to the small rat he was at the end of spring, and would heartily pat his belly or wobble it around in front of others. Even some of the concerns for his weight from his friends didn’t bother him, as he laughed it off with both paws placed on his gut to keep it from shaking. With good food, friends, and being the fattest rat he could be, life had never been better for Templeton.
Once the rat was filled in about Wilbur heading off to the fair, he gave his friend the fondest of well wishes, hoping he’d win the prize he deserved. Looking at Wilbur’s green crate with gold letters, the rat curiously waddled inside it. The soft straw bedding felt good under his paws, and even for Wilbur, it was spacious enough to comfortably rest in on the drive over. Templeton laid down on his side, his belly spilling outward onto the straw. He somewhat envied Wilbur having such a comfortable mode of transport. Were only he were a pig sized rat to enjoy the luxurious crate in its entirety.
The other animals on the farm were all excited for Wilbur’s trip to the fair, along with Templeton. Were he a smaller rat, he might’ve been curious to tag along as well, hiding underneath the thick bed of straw. Tossing some onto his belly, he chuckled at how frivolous it was to try and conceal his immense size. “Hehe, not in a million years.”
Early the next morning, on the day of the fair, the Zuckermans woke earlier than usual for their final preparations. Behind the hay bales in the barn, Templeton woke to the sound of boots kicking up dirt, and the voice of Mrs. Zuckerman calling to Wilbur. He poked his head through the hay, watching as she bathed Wilbur in a white-sour smelling liquid. He licked his lips, knowing buttermilk when he smelt it, his belly furiously grumbling as the pig lived out one of his gluttonous fantasies. Once she was finished, she set a spare bucket of milk to the side of the barn, which he happily chugged to the very last drop; his fur became drenched from the warm-thick liquid.
Later into the day, breakfast had been served and Wilbur had eaten his share, slowly and trying not to get himself dirty after just having been bathed. When it came time for Tempelton to eat, the rat grunted and groaned as he hoisted himself onto the trough. He would always giggle with a large grin across his face whenever he saw how much of his girth now filled the trough, recollecting his first real gorge the week Wilbur arrived on the farm and how he was able to submerge himself under the slops. His body now wedged itself between the angled boards, like a hot dog in a bun. Casually enjoying his meal, he listened to Charlotte talking to Wilbur.
“I decided it’d be best that I go with you, Wilbur,” said Charlotte. “Somebody has to go who knows how to write after all, and we don’t know what to expect.”
“Thank you, Charlotte,” sighed Wilbur with relief.
“Oh, Templeton,” called Charlotte, “Templeton, a word if you please?”
Templeton’s ears perked up, curious as to what Charlotte needed. He shoved the remains of a donut into his mouth, swallowed, then moved to the front of the trough, standing upright with his large stomach squishing against the trough’s edge. “Yes,” the rat smiled, “need me to do something while you’re both gone?”
“Actually, Templeton,” said Charlotte, “I think it’d be best if you came along too. I might need someone to run an errand or two, and do some general work. And you’ve certainly been invaluable in your part to help Wilbur.”
Templeton was taken aback, chuckling nervously at the thought of doing much of any labor at his size. “Hehe, well, you flatter me Charlotte, really. You know I’d love nothing more than to help, but the fair? I just…I don’t know if I can. I’m not the rat I used to be, hehe. How am I even supposed to go being as…well fed…as I am?”
“I’m sure we can think of something,” assured Charlotte.
“I’m sorry, Charlotte, truly. I wish I could help, but I don’t think I feel safe with this plan. Better for me anyway. I can’t say I have the slightest interest in fairs.”
“That’s because you’ve never been to one,” said the old sheep, peering over the fence post from his own pen. “Go to the fair Templeton, and you will find it to be a rat’s paradise. You have enjoyed months of people flocking here, throwing food in that waste bin, and gorging yourself to your current hulking size. But a fair is ten times that experience and more. Hundreds if not thousands of people flock there each year, spilling food and tossing out their leftovers. Where on this farm you have one waste bin of food, the fair contains dozens upon dozens. Tabletops of leftover feasts wait for you at the midway, with abandoned lunchboxes and wrappings of leftover food tossed along the ground. A variety of food carts provide a treasure trove of gluttony, and trucks carrying unloaded boxes of various sweets, fruits and vegetable shipments are ripe for the plundering.”
Templeton’s beady yellow eyes grew wide in wonderment. Drool dripped from the corners of his mouth, his chunky arms trembling to hold himself up along the trough edge. “I-i-is this, t-t-true?” The rat’s voice stammered in giddy excitement. “It sounds s-s-so…appetizing, and t-t-tempting. *Hnng*, I-it can’t be true…right?”
“Oh it’s true,” winked the sheep. “Think about it, Templeton, all the feasting you have had until now, would not be a drop in the bucket compared to what the fair holds for you. Your wildest dreams come true. It is the feast you’ve been preparing your stomach for all this time.”
The rat arched his back, jutting his massive belly outward as he pictured himself under a pouring waterfall of leftover food, mouth wide open. He clutched his paws to his gut, feeling it expand further outward, well beyond the point it felt fit to burst. “The fair sounds like, *hic*, the peak of high living.”
“At night, when the lights shut off and the crowds have all returned to their homes, you’ll find the largest feast you have ever set your eyes on. There is so much leftover food, not even an army of rats can gorge on it all. In just one night of glutting, you’ll grow so huge and fat that your stomach will be the size of—.”
“That’s enough,” said Templeton huskily, wiping drool from his mouth, “don’t tell me anymore, I’m going!”
“Good,” Charlotte nodded to the old sheep in approval. “Thank you, Templeton.”
“But,” said Wilbur, “how will he actually get there? He’ll be easily noticed in the crate.”
“See those sacks at the front of the barn,” said the old sheep, “they’re oats that Zuckerman sells to the trotters and pacers at the fair. They’re just big enough for him to hide inside.”
“You sure,” Templeton raised an eyebrow, “doesn’t look like enough space with all those oats packing it.”
“That’s why you have to eat them.”
Templeton wryly smiled, scratching the back of his head, “oh, hehe, right.”
“Remember, Templeton,” spoke Charlotte, “once you arrive at the fair, look for a word, a good one, then return to Wilbur and I by the pig pens. It all lies on you.”
“Now hurry, Zuckerman and the Arables will be here soon.”
Excited for the fair, Templeton pulled himself out of the trough, landing with a sickening squelch and not even bothering to finish the remainder of his slops. With a belly full of a bucket of butter milk and some slops, he beamed at the idea of now filling it with a sack of oats. He approached the sack along with the goose, gander, and Wilbur. His mouth bit down on the strand of rope that helped seal the sack close.
“Don’t tear the rope,” spoke Wilbur, “we’ll need to close it back up after you get in.”
Templeton tugged at the taut rope like a dog playing tug of war, until it finally came loose. He looked in awe at the sea of grain, stomach bubbling at the thought of having to eat most of it. He wasted no time, diving in head first and wolfing down as much as he could, as quickly as he could. Wilbur and the others urged him to hurry, pushing him to pack his cheeks and swallow larger portions than he was comfortable with. Practically inhaling the oats, the urgency of the situation wasn’t without its pleasures.
As landfills of oats began digesting within his stomach, he muffled a series of moans as it churned with the buttermilk. His belly further pressed against the sack, while his waist bloated further wider with each gulp. His gut soon grew so large he had to stand on the tips of his paws just to reach the inside of the sack, until eventually it lifted his hind paws off the floor all together. Laying on top of his belly, the rat managed to gorge himself toward the bottom of the sack, until Wilbur deemed he had made enough space.
Once Templeton stopped, he groaned with bliss, not expecting to eat so much so early. The three animals then rolled him into the sack, closed the top, and used their jaws to pull the rope tightly. Both geese bit tiny air holes, one of which was close enough for Templeton to peer outside. Though he was dazed from being pleasantly stuffed, he was able to see the Arable’s truck backing up to the pen. The entire family had arrived, agreeing to all go in that single vehicle.
Templeton watched as Wilbur struggled to be loaded, as per the sheep’s instructions. Charlotte had already hidden within the crate while Templeton had eaten the oats. It took all the men to hoist Wilbur’s crate onto the truck, afterwards they grabbed the sacks of oats and loaded them onto the truck as well. Templeton nervously remained still, doing his best not to needlessly hiccup or burp as his bubbling belly digested its heavy meal. The truck engine started, and they were finally off to the fair. The rat repeated Charlotte’s instructions in his head, becoming drowsier with each repetition. Usually sleeping after a large breakfast, it felt impossible to fight against the shroud of sleep that came with eating so much so early. As his eyes closed shut, he surrendered himself to slumber.
* * * * *
At the sound of his blorping stomach, Templeton stirred from his long rest. His head weighed heavily, telling him he had overslept longer than usual. As he rubbed the blurriness of his eyes, he looked through the sack hole. His keen eyes pierced the dark veil, finding himself in what appeared to be a wooden shed filled with sacks, barrels, and horse harnesses. He sniffed the stuffy air, smelling the pleasant scents of hay, horse feed, and something else. With his curiosity peaked, he gnawed open a larger hole through the sack and ventured onto the dirt floor.
The rat stood in place, sniffing some more and perking his ears up. Aside from the snoring and knickering of horses close by, he sensed no human presence; the coast appeared to be clear. He waddled around the room, searching for a way out. At the back of the shed one of the wall boards had a crack large enough to fit his head through. Peaking outward, he saw the desolate fairgrounds, devoid of any light or people. Night had come quicker than he had wanted, making time of the utmost importance to find a word and find Charlotte.
Templeton began digging under the crack in the boards, laboring to make a large enough hole to fit his giant body through. Not having used his claws for any digging since he grew too fat for tunnels, he had forgotten how much of a workout it actually was. In short intervals he paused to catch his breath, resting his thick pillowy arms which hardly sported much if any muscle. But his duty to his friends drove him onward, placing the most pleasurable reason for arriving at the fair to the back of his mind.
After numerous attempts and digging a hole the size of a basketball, the rat finally managed to pull himself to the other side. He kissed the dirt of the fairgrounds, congratulating himself as he panted for air. Regaining his composure, he reassessed his surroundings. In front of him were different carnival rides with a waste bin at each one. Behind him were the horse stables, extending down a long row. Across from them were what appeared to be different stands, with the occasional cart sitting in the middle of the road.
“How do I find Charlotte and Wilbur in all this,” said the rat, curling his whiskers with paw.
Looking back to the stables, he decided to waddle over and ask one of the horses for directions. Walking down the row, he searched for anyone who appeared to still be awake. He lucked out upon finding one who drank from a large pail of water. “Excuse me,” the rat called, poking his head above the bottom most board of the stable’s gate. “Excuse me, do you mind helping me? I’m down here, by the gate.”
Curious, the horse slowly walked over, nearly spitting out the water in his mouth upon laying eyes on the rat. “Holy cow,” spoke the horse, “you are without a doubt the fattest rat I’ve ever seen. Are you even a rat? You’re so huge.”
“Hehe, thanks,” Templeton patted his stomach, “it’s all thanks to good management, and hard work. But anyways, I need some help finding my friends. Do you happen to know where the pig pens are?”
“Uh…yeah. If you cut through these stands in front of us at an angle, you’ll find them on the other side. Hehe, you plan on entering yourself as a pig and winning a prize? You definitely have the makings of a pig sized rat, hahaha.”
“Maybe someday,” Templeton smirked, “thanks for the help.”
The horse continued to laugh as Templeton waddled away, taking wide strides as his large body swayed. His thoughts focused on Charlotte’s instructions, keeping a lookout for words as he approached the first stand he had to cut through. Sniffing the air out of impulse, he suddenly froze in place. His attention turned to a curious paper box which was flipped upside down, sitting directly under the stand’s table. He approached it, sniffing all the while, growing further anxious the closer he got. He turned over the box to find the remains of a funnel cake the size of his head, still dabbed with a modest amount of powdered sugar and drizzled with strawberry sauce.
For a brief moment, the rat contemplated walking away, trying his best to stay focused on his task. But its pungent scent and color threw his stomach into a whirl, grumbling with temptation despite still feeling considerably fed since the morning. Dejectedly groaning, he quickly stuffed the funnel cake in his mouth, guiltily enjoying it before swallowing. With it out of the way, he had hoped to continue searching for a word. His nose had different plans however, luring him over to the next morsel.
Just when he felt he could return to his duty, another piece of leftover food came in front of him. With each bite, Templeton began losing himself once more in the blithe rapture of gluttony. Charlotte’s instructions to him grew further from his thoughts, replaced by the spectacle he found himself in as he cut through each food stand. Instead of Charlotte, the old sheep’s words of the fair now filled his thoughts, detailing the massive feast a rat can enjoy, and how extraordinarily fat he’d become as a result.
Fully surrendered to the will of his stomach, Templeton sniffed around, eager for his next meal. Finding a colorful red and white cart, he grunted as he crawled his way up one of its large wheels, hoisting himself up to the top. He made quick work of a pair of mustard and ketchup bottles, squirting the entirety of their contents into his mouth. The opened lid at the top of the cart revealed a trove of franks and the buns that accompanied them, all packaged in large plastic bags.
The sight of it caused a waterfall of drool to pour down the rat’s mouth, and his eyes to bulge nearly out of their sockets. He dove into his feast without hesitation, tearing through the bags and wolfing down franks whole-three at a time. The reckless abandon with which Templeton ate left him awash with euphoria. Unlike the trash bin on the farm, he was overcome with joy at having entire-uneaten portions of food all to himself.
By the time he finished, he had eaten ten large bags of franks and buns. His gaseous belch echoed from within the cart. Pushing against the cart’s side door, he managed to open it, pushing it free of its magnetic seal. Moaning with triumph, he collapsed onto the fair grounds with a loud squelch, churning the mass of food in his stomach like a waterbed. Woozily hiccuping, he pulled himself along to his next feast.
Passing under stand after stand, Templeton enjoyed a plethora of tossed up leftover food such as cotton candy, half eaten ice cream cones, partially finished juice boxes and soda bottles, bits of corn dogs, and nearly finished bags of popcorn. His swollen stomach became so fluid in nature, it became difficult to balance himself when standing on two paws. After wolfing down a half eaten sandwich, his sloshing belly pulled him toward a garbage can, crashing against it with full force. Falling onto his rump, the impact tilted the can enough to tilt over, pouring its putrid riches onto the fairgrounds.
The rat sloppily grinned, unable to comprehend the magnitude of leftover food that filled the garbage from top to bottom, and how it was just one out of several dozen cans he had passed by. Compelled by his blorping stomach, he crawled his way inside; his girthy waistline nearly brushing against the garbage can’s sides. The feast it provided was superior to his own trash back at the farm, more plentiful and with a wider array of fattening delicacies. Apples cores, corn cobs, tuna cans, macaroni, and bits of chicken, the can had it all. Once Templeton reached the bottom, he momentarily paused, moaning with bliss as his jam packed stomach worked to process the mound of food he would normally eat throughout a whole day all in one sitting, when the crowds came to the farm.
Slowly pushing his way out, Templeton hauled his massive body to the next stand over. Scaling up the table leg, he rolled onto his back, giving his head and belly just enough space apart. His orange sized haunches lay buried under his enormous gut; his footpaws barely peeked out from underneath. Resting his paws on his belly, he looked on in woozy triumph of his sheer size. The ocean of gray fur that served as his belly wobbled like jello, vociferously glorping and glorping as several dozen lunches worth of food digested into supple fat.
“*Hic-hilp*, this is the life,” the rat sighed, “so much food, *hic-hilp*, and gluttony to be had. How fat, *hic-hilp*, can one rat get?”
Giving his belly a series of pats, the rat sloppily grinned as it sloshed in multiple directions. His blubbery belly felt like it had a mind of its own, indecisively wobbling his body back and forth, left and right. After a few minutes of rest and smelling more food nearby, the rat attempted to roll back onto his front. With a paw, he clutched at the edge of a cotton table cover hanging near the leg, tugging on it to help lift his belly off his haunches. It managed to help roll his belly off his right haunch, but upon rolling onto his side, the weight of his engorged gut pulled the table cloth further down, causing some of what was on the table to fall to the floor with a metallic clang.
Laying on his front, Templeton pushed the table cloth away, revealing a tipped over metal tray and the spilled remains of six uneaten double cheeseburgers scattered around. Licking his lips and rubbing his belly, he pulled himself over, opening his mouth as wide as possible to fit in as much food as he could. Bread, onion, lettuce, tomato slices, two thick beef patties and two slices of cheese were heavily crammed in his cheeks to the point he could no longer close his mouth. Using one paw, he shoved as much down his gullet as he could, wincing as it splashed into his cavernous gut.
Burger after burger, the rat continued to swell far beyond he ever thought possible. Hiccuping with each mouthful he swallowed, he was forced to navigate past a turbulent sea of belly just to grab the next remnants of burger. Once he had finished, he pulled on the table cloth further, pulling down a basket of fries, and another tray of six chicken sandwiches. The plethora of gluttony dangerously set him on the verge of fainting from his own euphoria. Belching to the night sky, he craned his neck upward at the final tray sitting atop of the table.
Templeton looked up longingly at his next feast, his heart picking up speed at the sight of something big. Giving the tablecloth one final tug, he opened his mouth wide as a three layer cake came barreling toward him, splattering over his entire body. He swallowed the initial rush of cake that entered his mouth, then proceeded to eat his way out of what cake remained. Rolling onto his back, the cake that landed on his stomach rolled into his mouth. He cleaned himself off the best he could, eating any leftover cake he could reach, with only the empty tray leaning against the front of his stomach.
“*Bwooorp*, uuugh, so full, *hic-hilp*. So much, *uuurap*, gorge, *hilp*. I can’t, *oourp*, stop. Want, *hic-hilp*, to get, *hilp*, fatter.”
Pushing against his belly, its sloshing motions poured onto his face, then pulled him to an upright position. Templeton caught himself on the remainder of the tablecloth, before his sloshing belly dragged the rest of it down. One final object fell from the table, landing in the center of Templeton’s gut with a loud slap. It startled the rat at first, but upon seeing it was a newspaper, he chuckled to himself before motioning to sweep it off.
Suddenly, a picture of Wilbur and the barn cellar caught his eye. It was a column about his arrival to the fair, with a single word in the headline standing out to him. “Humble,” the rat whispered to himself. “Heh, isn’t that just the, *urp*, word for Wilbur?”
Upon reading the word, the gluttonous spell he had been put under vanished. All thought of the glorious feasting and carousing over the past few hours seemed like they didn’t happen. Aside from its soft bubbling, his stomach had calmed down, the thought of further gorging and fattening up no longer swayed him. Tearing out the word from the newspaper, Templeton rolled himself forward, dragging himself along the ground, and sniffing as little of the night air as he could.
After much groaning, Templeton saw the welcome sight of a row of pens just beyond the final stand. He crawled toward a pen with a large spider web hanging over it, its silvering sinews glinting in the moonlight. He let out a sigh of relief, finally having someplace to rest and digest his overburdened belly.
Charlotte crawled down from her web to the top of the gate, looking down at the blob of a rat. “Templeton…good heavens. Just how much have you eaten? I expected some delay, due to the fair tempting you, but this is obscene. I’d consider it a miracle you’re not still out there gorging yourself.”
“Oooh, I’m sorry, *hic-hilp*, Charlotte. This fair, *hnnng*, overpowered me.” The rat hauled his upper body over the bottom plank of the gate, dangling on the other end as he caught his breath. Charlotte spun her way down, sitting atop of his muzzle; his blurry vision made it hard to focus on her. “My stomach took control, *hic-hilp*, and I couldn’t resist. But I, *bworp*, got the word. I just hope, *hic-hilp*, there’s enough time to write it.”
“Fortunate for you and Wilbur, there is. What did you find?”
Lifting up a swollen arm, Templeton spread the newspaper clipping across the plank. “It says, *hic-hilp*, humble.”
“Humble,” Charlotte rubbed her chin with two legs, “humble has two meanings. It could either mean, not proud…or…near the ground.” She patted Templeton’s muzzle, “that’s Wilbur all over, thank you Templeton.”
The rat sloppily grinned, “I’m glad you’re satisfied, *hic-hilp*. Now that that’s done I can finally sleep off some of this stomach, *orp*. I’ve never felt more engorged.”
Charlotte chuckled. “The fair was that good?”
“A rat’s paradise, *hic-hilp*, the old sheep was right. Good gorging and hunting could be found all over. I couldn’t believe, *hic-hilp*, just how much food I was eating. A rat, *hic-hilp*, can really grow incredibly fat, *hic-hilp*, at this fair.”
“Well…fortunate for us you came back with the word. I wouldn’t expect to see you until morning otherwise.”
“*Hilp*, that’ll be the case tomorrow. After I sleep off some of this gorge, *oorp*, I’m heading back out for a full night of enjoyment.”
Charlotte shimmied up her strand of web, allowing Templeton to pull the rest of his body over the plank. His wide girth grew stuck between the plank opening, with only his paws being able to touch the pen’s straw bedding. Giving himself a wiggle, an avalanche of fat poured over him, submerging him under furry lard, leaving only his muzzle and paws sticking out from underneath. Pulling himself forward, the rest of his belly slid off the plank and slammed onto the floor with a loud squelch, causing Wilbur to twitch in his sleep. Charlotte shook her head in disbelief before beginning work on the remainder of her web.
Templeton pulled himself to the back of the pig crate, resting against the corner. His waist filled out more of the crate than it did in the morning, and his belly was only halfway to the top. He sunk his digits into his doughy flab, giving it a good shake and listening to its vibrant churning. Full beyond his own comprehension, he immediately fell into slumber. The night's eating had surpassed his wildest expectations, without even scratching the surface of what the fair had to offer. With an entire night of unhindered gluttony coming up, Templeton planned to give his stomach the largest-most fattening feast to date; truly, this feast would be a night to remember.
-----------------------------------------
The day after Charlotte spun the word, “radiant,” into her web, was perhaps the most exciting turnout the farm had ever had. As news once more spread around the county, another influx of people flocked to the farm. In that same week, over one hundred people arrived in a single day to watch Wilbur be radiant, watching the pig perform several tricks and jumps with a half twist for their entertainment. With the crowds bigger and more vibrant than ever, Templeton had yet again gone through another corpulent transformation.
Having trained his stomach to gorge on an obscene amount of food, the rat ate with extreme abandon within his trash barrel by the house. He took full advantage of the old sheep’s suggestion, spending the entirety of each day laying on his back, eating whatever leftovers that managed to get tossed away. From early morning until the sun went down, until the word on Charlotte’s web lost its visibility in the dark, Templeton feasted at the detriment of his own stomach. So heedless was he of its incredible strain, he’d often pass out in a food induced coma, only to wake up unbearably full—find himself buried under a mountain of food—eat some more—then pass out again.
Life resembled a dream for everyone on the farm thanks to Wilbur’s fame. Though the other animals feared all the attention would get to Wilbur’s head, he remained the same loveable pig and dear friend. The excitement of it all drastically improved his appetite, and with Templeton allocating his existence to the trash, Wilbur had free reign over his slops in their entirety. He grew into a pig any farmer would be happy to have, and with the announcement of the county fair coming up, Wilbur did his best to look his best.
Once the crowds had finally calmed down, Templeton finally managed to finish his mountain of leftover food and allowed himself to rest long enough for his feast to digest. Some of the other animals occasionally spoke to Templeton from across the trash to check up on him, but nobody had seen so much as a whisker of him for over two weeks. After summer had ended and the coolness of fall began setting in, he crawled out of the trash, confounding everyone as the hulking orb of black and gray fur he had become.
Belly pooling around his limbs as he waded along the ground like an alligator, the rat had blown up to the size of a massively obese raccoon. Leaning upright against the fence near the trough, the shapely rat’s body had double the goose and gander in size. Practically a walking stomach, his head appeared to sink into his body, with his cheeks squishing against a large ring of neck fat. The struggle to manage such a corpulent figure proved taxing, but the rat had never felt more enormously pleased with himself.
In the coming days, Templeton was in no short supply of joviality. Constantly, he would compliment his own size, crack jokes about his enormity compared to the small rat he was at the end of spring, and would heartily pat his belly or wobble it around in front of others. Even some of the concerns for his weight from his friends didn’t bother him, as he laughed it off with both paws placed on his gut to keep it from shaking. With good food, friends, and being the fattest rat he could be, life had never been better for Templeton.
Once the rat was filled in about Wilbur heading off to the fair, he gave his friend the fondest of well wishes, hoping he’d win the prize he deserved. Looking at Wilbur’s green crate with gold letters, the rat curiously waddled inside it. The soft straw bedding felt good under his paws, and even for Wilbur, it was spacious enough to comfortably rest in on the drive over. Templeton laid down on his side, his belly spilling outward onto the straw. He somewhat envied Wilbur having such a comfortable mode of transport. Were only he were a pig sized rat to enjoy the luxurious crate in its entirety.
The other animals on the farm were all excited for Wilbur’s trip to the fair, along with Templeton. Were he a smaller rat, he might’ve been curious to tag along as well, hiding underneath the thick bed of straw. Tossing some onto his belly, he chuckled at how frivolous it was to try and conceal his immense size. “Hehe, not in a million years.”
Early the next morning, on the day of the fair, the Zuckermans woke earlier than usual for their final preparations. Behind the hay bales in the barn, Templeton woke to the sound of boots kicking up dirt, and the voice of Mrs. Zuckerman calling to Wilbur. He poked his head through the hay, watching as she bathed Wilbur in a white-sour smelling liquid. He licked his lips, knowing buttermilk when he smelt it, his belly furiously grumbling as the pig lived out one of his gluttonous fantasies. Once she was finished, she set a spare bucket of milk to the side of the barn, which he happily chugged to the very last drop; his fur became drenched from the warm-thick liquid.
Later into the day, breakfast had been served and Wilbur had eaten his share, slowly and trying not to get himself dirty after just having been bathed. When it came time for Tempelton to eat, the rat grunted and groaned as he hoisted himself onto the trough. He would always giggle with a large grin across his face whenever he saw how much of his girth now filled the trough, recollecting his first real gorge the week Wilbur arrived on the farm and how he was able to submerge himself under the slops. His body now wedged itself between the angled boards, like a hot dog in a bun. Casually enjoying his meal, he listened to Charlotte talking to Wilbur.
“I decided it’d be best that I go with you, Wilbur,” said Charlotte. “Somebody has to go who knows how to write after all, and we don’t know what to expect.”
“Thank you, Charlotte,” sighed Wilbur with relief.
“Oh, Templeton,” called Charlotte, “Templeton, a word if you please?”
Templeton’s ears perked up, curious as to what Charlotte needed. He shoved the remains of a donut into his mouth, swallowed, then moved to the front of the trough, standing upright with his large stomach squishing against the trough’s edge. “Yes,” the rat smiled, “need me to do something while you’re both gone?”
“Actually, Templeton,” said Charlotte, “I think it’d be best if you came along too. I might need someone to run an errand or two, and do some general work. And you’ve certainly been invaluable in your part to help Wilbur.”
Templeton was taken aback, chuckling nervously at the thought of doing much of any labor at his size. “Hehe, well, you flatter me Charlotte, really. You know I’d love nothing more than to help, but the fair? I just…I don’t know if I can. I’m not the rat I used to be, hehe. How am I even supposed to go being as…well fed…as I am?”
“I’m sure we can think of something,” assured Charlotte.
“I’m sorry, Charlotte, truly. I wish I could help, but I don’t think I feel safe with this plan. Better for me anyway. I can’t say I have the slightest interest in fairs.”
“That’s because you’ve never been to one,” said the old sheep, peering over the fence post from his own pen. “Go to the fair Templeton, and you will find it to be a rat’s paradise. You have enjoyed months of people flocking here, throwing food in that waste bin, and gorging yourself to your current hulking size. But a fair is ten times that experience and more. Hundreds if not thousands of people flock there each year, spilling food and tossing out their leftovers. Where on this farm you have one waste bin of food, the fair contains dozens upon dozens. Tabletops of leftover feasts wait for you at the midway, with abandoned lunchboxes and wrappings of leftover food tossed along the ground. A variety of food carts provide a treasure trove of gluttony, and trucks carrying unloaded boxes of various sweets, fruits and vegetable shipments are ripe for the plundering.”
Templeton’s beady yellow eyes grew wide in wonderment. Drool dripped from the corners of his mouth, his chunky arms trembling to hold himself up along the trough edge. “I-i-is this, t-t-true?” The rat’s voice stammered in giddy excitement. “It sounds s-s-so…appetizing, and t-t-tempting. *Hnng*, I-it can’t be true…right?”
“Oh it’s true,” winked the sheep. “Think about it, Templeton, all the feasting you have had until now, would not be a drop in the bucket compared to what the fair holds for you. Your wildest dreams come true. It is the feast you’ve been preparing your stomach for all this time.”
The rat arched his back, jutting his massive belly outward as he pictured himself under a pouring waterfall of leftover food, mouth wide open. He clutched his paws to his gut, feeling it expand further outward, well beyond the point it felt fit to burst. “The fair sounds like, *hic*, the peak of high living.”
“At night, when the lights shut off and the crowds have all returned to their homes, you’ll find the largest feast you have ever set your eyes on. There is so much leftover food, not even an army of rats can gorge on it all. In just one night of glutting, you’ll grow so huge and fat that your stomach will be the size of—.”
“That’s enough,” said Templeton huskily, wiping drool from his mouth, “don’t tell me anymore, I’m going!”
“Good,” Charlotte nodded to the old sheep in approval. “Thank you, Templeton.”
“But,” said Wilbur, “how will he actually get there? He’ll be easily noticed in the crate.”
“See those sacks at the front of the barn,” said the old sheep, “they’re oats that Zuckerman sells to the trotters and pacers at the fair. They’re just big enough for him to hide inside.”
“You sure,” Templeton raised an eyebrow, “doesn’t look like enough space with all those oats packing it.”
“That’s why you have to eat them.”
Templeton wryly smiled, scratching the back of his head, “oh, hehe, right.”
“Remember, Templeton,” spoke Charlotte, “once you arrive at the fair, look for a word, a good one, then return to Wilbur and I by the pig pens. It all lies on you.”
“Now hurry, Zuckerman and the Arables will be here soon.”
Excited for the fair, Templeton pulled himself out of the trough, landing with a sickening squelch and not even bothering to finish the remainder of his slops. With a belly full of a bucket of butter milk and some slops, he beamed at the idea of now filling it with a sack of oats. He approached the sack along with the goose, gander, and Wilbur. His mouth bit down on the strand of rope that helped seal the sack close.
“Don’t tear the rope,” spoke Wilbur, “we’ll need to close it back up after you get in.”
Templeton tugged at the taut rope like a dog playing tug of war, until it finally came loose. He looked in awe at the sea of grain, stomach bubbling at the thought of having to eat most of it. He wasted no time, diving in head first and wolfing down as much as he could, as quickly as he could. Wilbur and the others urged him to hurry, pushing him to pack his cheeks and swallow larger portions than he was comfortable with. Practically inhaling the oats, the urgency of the situation wasn’t without its pleasures.
As landfills of oats began digesting within his stomach, he muffled a series of moans as it churned with the buttermilk. His belly further pressed against the sack, while his waist bloated further wider with each gulp. His gut soon grew so large he had to stand on the tips of his paws just to reach the inside of the sack, until eventually it lifted his hind paws off the floor all together. Laying on top of his belly, the rat managed to gorge himself toward the bottom of the sack, until Wilbur deemed he had made enough space.
Once Templeton stopped, he groaned with bliss, not expecting to eat so much so early. The three animals then rolled him into the sack, closed the top, and used their jaws to pull the rope tightly. Both geese bit tiny air holes, one of which was close enough for Templeton to peer outside. Though he was dazed from being pleasantly stuffed, he was able to see the Arable’s truck backing up to the pen. The entire family had arrived, agreeing to all go in that single vehicle.
Templeton watched as Wilbur struggled to be loaded, as per the sheep’s instructions. Charlotte had already hidden within the crate while Templeton had eaten the oats. It took all the men to hoist Wilbur’s crate onto the truck, afterwards they grabbed the sacks of oats and loaded them onto the truck as well. Templeton nervously remained still, doing his best not to needlessly hiccup or burp as his bubbling belly digested its heavy meal. The truck engine started, and they were finally off to the fair. The rat repeated Charlotte’s instructions in his head, becoming drowsier with each repetition. Usually sleeping after a large breakfast, it felt impossible to fight against the shroud of sleep that came with eating so much so early. As his eyes closed shut, he surrendered himself to slumber.
* * * * *
At the sound of his blorping stomach, Templeton stirred from his long rest. His head weighed heavily, telling him he had overslept longer than usual. As he rubbed the blurriness of his eyes, he looked through the sack hole. His keen eyes pierced the dark veil, finding himself in what appeared to be a wooden shed filled with sacks, barrels, and horse harnesses. He sniffed the stuffy air, smelling the pleasant scents of hay, horse feed, and something else. With his curiosity peaked, he gnawed open a larger hole through the sack and ventured onto the dirt floor.
The rat stood in place, sniffing some more and perking his ears up. Aside from the snoring and knickering of horses close by, he sensed no human presence; the coast appeared to be clear. He waddled around the room, searching for a way out. At the back of the shed one of the wall boards had a crack large enough to fit his head through. Peaking outward, he saw the desolate fairgrounds, devoid of any light or people. Night had come quicker than he had wanted, making time of the utmost importance to find a word and find Charlotte.
Templeton began digging under the crack in the boards, laboring to make a large enough hole to fit his giant body through. Not having used his claws for any digging since he grew too fat for tunnels, he had forgotten how much of a workout it actually was. In short intervals he paused to catch his breath, resting his thick pillowy arms which hardly sported much if any muscle. But his duty to his friends drove him onward, placing the most pleasurable reason for arriving at the fair to the back of his mind.
After numerous attempts and digging a hole the size of a basketball, the rat finally managed to pull himself to the other side. He kissed the dirt of the fairgrounds, congratulating himself as he panted for air. Regaining his composure, he reassessed his surroundings. In front of him were different carnival rides with a waste bin at each one. Behind him were the horse stables, extending down a long row. Across from them were what appeared to be different stands, with the occasional cart sitting in the middle of the road.
“How do I find Charlotte and Wilbur in all this,” said the rat, curling his whiskers with paw.
Looking back to the stables, he decided to waddle over and ask one of the horses for directions. Walking down the row, he searched for anyone who appeared to still be awake. He lucked out upon finding one who drank from a large pail of water. “Excuse me,” the rat called, poking his head above the bottom most board of the stable’s gate. “Excuse me, do you mind helping me? I’m down here, by the gate.”
Curious, the horse slowly walked over, nearly spitting out the water in his mouth upon laying eyes on the rat. “Holy cow,” spoke the horse, “you are without a doubt the fattest rat I’ve ever seen. Are you even a rat? You’re so huge.”
“Hehe, thanks,” Templeton patted his stomach, “it’s all thanks to good management, and hard work. But anyways, I need some help finding my friends. Do you happen to know where the pig pens are?”
“Uh…yeah. If you cut through these stands in front of us at an angle, you’ll find them on the other side. Hehe, you plan on entering yourself as a pig and winning a prize? You definitely have the makings of a pig sized rat, hahaha.”
“Maybe someday,” Templeton smirked, “thanks for the help.”
The horse continued to laugh as Templeton waddled away, taking wide strides as his large body swayed. His thoughts focused on Charlotte’s instructions, keeping a lookout for words as he approached the first stand he had to cut through. Sniffing the air out of impulse, he suddenly froze in place. His attention turned to a curious paper box which was flipped upside down, sitting directly under the stand’s table. He approached it, sniffing all the while, growing further anxious the closer he got. He turned over the box to find the remains of a funnel cake the size of his head, still dabbed with a modest amount of powdered sugar and drizzled with strawberry sauce.
For a brief moment, the rat contemplated walking away, trying his best to stay focused on his task. But its pungent scent and color threw his stomach into a whirl, grumbling with temptation despite still feeling considerably fed since the morning. Dejectedly groaning, he quickly stuffed the funnel cake in his mouth, guiltily enjoying it before swallowing. With it out of the way, he had hoped to continue searching for a word. His nose had different plans however, luring him over to the next morsel.
Just when he felt he could return to his duty, another piece of leftover food came in front of him. With each bite, Templeton began losing himself once more in the blithe rapture of gluttony. Charlotte’s instructions to him grew further from his thoughts, replaced by the spectacle he found himself in as he cut through each food stand. Instead of Charlotte, the old sheep’s words of the fair now filled his thoughts, detailing the massive feast a rat can enjoy, and how extraordinarily fat he’d become as a result.
Fully surrendered to the will of his stomach, Templeton sniffed around, eager for his next meal. Finding a colorful red and white cart, he grunted as he crawled his way up one of its large wheels, hoisting himself up to the top. He made quick work of a pair of mustard and ketchup bottles, squirting the entirety of their contents into his mouth. The opened lid at the top of the cart revealed a trove of franks and the buns that accompanied them, all packaged in large plastic bags.
The sight of it caused a waterfall of drool to pour down the rat’s mouth, and his eyes to bulge nearly out of their sockets. He dove into his feast without hesitation, tearing through the bags and wolfing down franks whole-three at a time. The reckless abandon with which Templeton ate left him awash with euphoria. Unlike the trash bin on the farm, he was overcome with joy at having entire-uneaten portions of food all to himself.
By the time he finished, he had eaten ten large bags of franks and buns. His gaseous belch echoed from within the cart. Pushing against the cart’s side door, he managed to open it, pushing it free of its magnetic seal. Moaning with triumph, he collapsed onto the fair grounds with a loud squelch, churning the mass of food in his stomach like a waterbed. Woozily hiccuping, he pulled himself along to his next feast.
Passing under stand after stand, Templeton enjoyed a plethora of tossed up leftover food such as cotton candy, half eaten ice cream cones, partially finished juice boxes and soda bottles, bits of corn dogs, and nearly finished bags of popcorn. His swollen stomach became so fluid in nature, it became difficult to balance himself when standing on two paws. After wolfing down a half eaten sandwich, his sloshing belly pulled him toward a garbage can, crashing against it with full force. Falling onto his rump, the impact tilted the can enough to tilt over, pouring its putrid riches onto the fairgrounds.
The rat sloppily grinned, unable to comprehend the magnitude of leftover food that filled the garbage from top to bottom, and how it was just one out of several dozen cans he had passed by. Compelled by his blorping stomach, he crawled his way inside; his girthy waistline nearly brushing against the garbage can’s sides. The feast it provided was superior to his own trash back at the farm, more plentiful and with a wider array of fattening delicacies. Apples cores, corn cobs, tuna cans, macaroni, and bits of chicken, the can had it all. Once Templeton reached the bottom, he momentarily paused, moaning with bliss as his jam packed stomach worked to process the mound of food he would normally eat throughout a whole day all in one sitting, when the crowds came to the farm.
Slowly pushing his way out, Templeton hauled his massive body to the next stand over. Scaling up the table leg, he rolled onto his back, giving his head and belly just enough space apart. His orange sized haunches lay buried under his enormous gut; his footpaws barely peeked out from underneath. Resting his paws on his belly, he looked on in woozy triumph of his sheer size. The ocean of gray fur that served as his belly wobbled like jello, vociferously glorping and glorping as several dozen lunches worth of food digested into supple fat.
“*Hic-hilp*, this is the life,” the rat sighed, “so much food, *hic-hilp*, and gluttony to be had. How fat, *hic-hilp*, can one rat get?”
Giving his belly a series of pats, the rat sloppily grinned as it sloshed in multiple directions. His blubbery belly felt like it had a mind of its own, indecisively wobbling his body back and forth, left and right. After a few minutes of rest and smelling more food nearby, the rat attempted to roll back onto his front. With a paw, he clutched at the edge of a cotton table cover hanging near the leg, tugging on it to help lift his belly off his haunches. It managed to help roll his belly off his right haunch, but upon rolling onto his side, the weight of his engorged gut pulled the table cloth further down, causing some of what was on the table to fall to the floor with a metallic clang.
Laying on his front, Templeton pushed the table cloth away, revealing a tipped over metal tray and the spilled remains of six uneaten double cheeseburgers scattered around. Licking his lips and rubbing his belly, he pulled himself over, opening his mouth as wide as possible to fit in as much food as he could. Bread, onion, lettuce, tomato slices, two thick beef patties and two slices of cheese were heavily crammed in his cheeks to the point he could no longer close his mouth. Using one paw, he shoved as much down his gullet as he could, wincing as it splashed into his cavernous gut.
Burger after burger, the rat continued to swell far beyond he ever thought possible. Hiccuping with each mouthful he swallowed, he was forced to navigate past a turbulent sea of belly just to grab the next remnants of burger. Once he had finished, he pulled on the table cloth further, pulling down a basket of fries, and another tray of six chicken sandwiches. The plethora of gluttony dangerously set him on the verge of fainting from his own euphoria. Belching to the night sky, he craned his neck upward at the final tray sitting atop of the table.
Templeton looked up longingly at his next feast, his heart picking up speed at the sight of something big. Giving the tablecloth one final tug, he opened his mouth wide as a three layer cake came barreling toward him, splattering over his entire body. He swallowed the initial rush of cake that entered his mouth, then proceeded to eat his way out of what cake remained. Rolling onto his back, the cake that landed on his stomach rolled into his mouth. He cleaned himself off the best he could, eating any leftover cake he could reach, with only the empty tray leaning against the front of his stomach.
“*Bwooorp*, uuugh, so full, *hic-hilp*. So much, *uuurap*, gorge, *hilp*. I can’t, *oourp*, stop. Want, *hic-hilp*, to get, *hilp*, fatter.”
Pushing against his belly, its sloshing motions poured onto his face, then pulled him to an upright position. Templeton caught himself on the remainder of the tablecloth, before his sloshing belly dragged the rest of it down. One final object fell from the table, landing in the center of Templeton’s gut with a loud slap. It startled the rat at first, but upon seeing it was a newspaper, he chuckled to himself before motioning to sweep it off.
Suddenly, a picture of Wilbur and the barn cellar caught his eye. It was a column about his arrival to the fair, with a single word in the headline standing out to him. “Humble,” the rat whispered to himself. “Heh, isn’t that just the, *urp*, word for Wilbur?”
Upon reading the word, the gluttonous spell he had been put under vanished. All thought of the glorious feasting and carousing over the past few hours seemed like they didn’t happen. Aside from its soft bubbling, his stomach had calmed down, the thought of further gorging and fattening up no longer swayed him. Tearing out the word from the newspaper, Templeton rolled himself forward, dragging himself along the ground, and sniffing as little of the night air as he could.
After much groaning, Templeton saw the welcome sight of a row of pens just beyond the final stand. He crawled toward a pen with a large spider web hanging over it, its silvering sinews glinting in the moonlight. He let out a sigh of relief, finally having someplace to rest and digest his overburdened belly.
Charlotte crawled down from her web to the top of the gate, looking down at the blob of a rat. “Templeton…good heavens. Just how much have you eaten? I expected some delay, due to the fair tempting you, but this is obscene. I’d consider it a miracle you’re not still out there gorging yourself.”
“Oooh, I’m sorry, *hic-hilp*, Charlotte. This fair, *hnnng*, overpowered me.” The rat hauled his upper body over the bottom plank of the gate, dangling on the other end as he caught his breath. Charlotte spun her way down, sitting atop of his muzzle; his blurry vision made it hard to focus on her. “My stomach took control, *hic-hilp*, and I couldn’t resist. But I, *bworp*, got the word. I just hope, *hic-hilp*, there’s enough time to write it.”
“Fortunate for you and Wilbur, there is. What did you find?”
Lifting up a swollen arm, Templeton spread the newspaper clipping across the plank. “It says, *hic-hilp*, humble.”
“Humble,” Charlotte rubbed her chin with two legs, “humble has two meanings. It could either mean, not proud…or…near the ground.” She patted Templeton’s muzzle, “that’s Wilbur all over, thank you Templeton.”
The rat sloppily grinned, “I’m glad you’re satisfied, *hic-hilp*. Now that that’s done I can finally sleep off some of this stomach, *orp*. I’ve never felt more engorged.”
Charlotte chuckled. “The fair was that good?”
“A rat’s paradise, *hic-hilp*, the old sheep was right. Good gorging and hunting could be found all over. I couldn’t believe, *hic-hilp*, just how much food I was eating. A rat, *hic-hilp*, can really grow incredibly fat, *hic-hilp*, at this fair.”
“Well…fortunate for us you came back with the word. I wouldn’t expect to see you until morning otherwise.”
“*Hilp*, that’ll be the case tomorrow. After I sleep off some of this gorge, *oorp*, I’m heading back out for a full night of enjoyment.”
Charlotte shimmied up her strand of web, allowing Templeton to pull the rest of his body over the plank. His wide girth grew stuck between the plank opening, with only his paws being able to touch the pen’s straw bedding. Giving himself a wiggle, an avalanche of fat poured over him, submerging him under furry lard, leaving only his muzzle and paws sticking out from underneath. Pulling himself forward, the rest of his belly slid off the plank and slammed onto the floor with a loud squelch, causing Wilbur to twitch in his sleep. Charlotte shook her head in disbelief before beginning work on the remainder of her web.
Templeton pulled himself to the back of the pig crate, resting against the corner. His waist filled out more of the crate than it did in the morning, and his belly was only halfway to the top. He sunk his digits into his doughy flab, giving it a good shake and listening to its vibrant churning. Full beyond his own comprehension, he immediately fell into slumber. The night's eating had surpassed his wildest expectations, without even scratching the surface of what the fair had to offer. With an entire night of unhindered gluttony coming up, Templeton planned to give his stomach the largest-most fattening feast to date; truly, this feast would be a night to remember.

Templeton battles temptation at the fair as he tries to find Charlotte one final word for her web. He finds the fair is everything the old sheep promised it'd be, a place for a rat to glut, glut, glut!
Another Templeton Week, and another yearly chapter to the series x3. The story was getting a bit long for my liking, so, I figured I'd write some fair action now, but on the next chapter, dedicate it all to Templeton getting as fat as possible :3. I know I said this last year, but hopefully, it won't take another year before I finally write more Templeton x3.

You're welcome! And gosh, giving us a present for your birthday!
It's technically over Tuesday since that's when it started this week x3. But yeah, perhaps. If I'm not tied to doing too many stories for buddies or spontaneous ideas, I would like to add chapters to my series when I'm not writing for patreon. So, we'll see what the future holds x3
another great chapter. are you planning on releasing more chapters only in october to coincide with following templeton weeks?
Ideally no. I'd love to update a lot sooner, but now that I have Patreon, have other series to work on, and sometimes write gifts/commissions for people I like, it's hard to choose a particular week to write a Templeton chapter x3. Plus I'd be best if I were in a feral mood, otherwise I might get bored x3. The next story will most likely be a 2 parter. So I definitely don't want to wait 2 years to write them both x3.
