Tenacious life

My family has a green prickly pear, which was bought in the market a few months ago.

At the time, I was curious about this round, thorny guy. Its color is very bright, the ball inside is greenish, and the thorn is yellowish. Looking at it is like seeing the endless desert.

But it is not beautiful at all, there is something earth. So, I don't like it. However, after a few days,

Last month, I first saw the tenacity of its vitality. A few months ago, I should have watered it and moved it indoors, but I was so tired of it that I had thrown it into the clouds. Once I went out to play, I accidentally saw the green leaves with sharp thorns, and suddenly remembered the prickly pear that I forgot. I am annoyed: it must have died. When I got home, I ran to the balcony and was shocked. It was still alive and well, with a sharp thorn that seemed to be fearless in the face of difficulties.

One day, I saw it again and again. That day, I accidentally broke its flower pot. It lay on the ground, bruised and bruised. No way, it will definitely die. But my mother told me that I had to insert its "body" into a plastic cup, which buried the soil, poured some water, and perhaps saved it. I don't believe it, but I am curious about it, or I put it inside, I hope the miracle happens. A week has passed, it is still full of green, full of hope, two weeks have passed, and the prickly pear has survived tenaciously! It has regained its difficulties with its tenacious life. It does not depend on the sky, not on the ground, it relies on its own strong perseverance. I am very happy, dancing around it, as if celebrating a major holiday. Since then, in my heart, it is my good teacher and good guide.

Now, with my careful care, it has restored the face of the past. I am very grateful to it because it makes me understand the tenacity of life!
