Life is beautiful because of tenacity

My family bought a pot of prickly pears. It was bought from the flower and bird market when we moved to a new home. It looks like a small ball with a thorn. Moreover, it has been in my family for seven years, three months and seven days. Once, when I was watching the fairy ball, I asked a lot of questions...

That day, I said to my father with great curiosity: "Dad, why did the prickly pear grow like this, so ugly!" Dad answered me easily: "This is called green hedgehog. They grow in arid environment. They have a lot of thorns on them, and some prickly pears can live for more than five hundred years! Their vitality is very strong, although they can survive in very hot weather!" "Wow, the prickly pear can live. So long! Then, Dad, why can the prickly pear live so long in such a difficult environment?" I asked my father doubtfully. Dad answered me with a strong heart and said, "Because the prickly pear has a stem, it can store the water, and then wait until the weather is very hot, then take it out and use it slowly!" Dad thought about it and said to me seriously. "When the prickly pears are in the heat and dry summer, the other potted plants have already hanged their heads, but it looks like a warrior and looks at the blue sky; in the cold winter, other potted plants have long been The owner took the room back, but it was - the prickly pear still had the wind and frost, not afraid of the surrounding environment, proudly looked up!"

Yes, although the prickly pear has no beautiful appearance, only the thorns are covered, but how obsessive it is that its obscurity and tenacious willpower!
