The
rat in E.B. White's novel
Charlotte's Web, voice-acted in the animated motion picture by
Paul Lynde. A
reluctant hero of sorts, it was
Templeton who
scrounged various
inspirational literature for Charlotte in her web-writing period, and who carried her
egg sac to
a safe place when
Charlotte died.
Templeton: (muffled) "
Sticks like taffy!"
