A passage describing "cactus"
Potted cactus, its indomitable character is very surprising, it doesn't care whether there is water, whether the weather is hot or not, whether it is cold or not. Its green body has palm-shaped stems covered with thorns, and it does not keep growing upward, like a pyramid-shaped ocean. A piece of "green palm" grows a piece of "small green hand", which makes people have a lot of reverie. It looks like this everywhere. In the hot and long drought summer, other potted plants have bowed their heads, but cactus looks up at the blue sky like a soldier; In the severe winter, other potted plants have already been brought back indoors by their owners, but cactus has experienced wind and rain and is not afraid of the surrounding environment. It never pays attention to it. It has been rooted all its life, as if to say, "This place is really nice. Let's grow up here! " The immortal is covered with hard thorns, and any wild animal will stop at once when it sees it. Pests want to bite it, and their bodies are always full of holes. As soon as the green cactus came out of the ground, everyone thought it was dead. No, if you do this, it's wrong. It uses the nutrients of the body to take root and sprout and cultivate a young cactus. This is the real "rooting". Who can match its tenacious vitality? This seemingly ordinary plant, who would have expected, will produce beautiful flowers, just like colorful tassels on a samurai helmet.
Cactus is a tropical plant. It is shaped like a palm, hence its name. It is not afraid of heat, that is, the temperature is as high as 40 degrees Celsius, and it can survive tenaciously without drinking water for several days. In this way, it stands the test of the scorching sun day after day, month after month, year after year, and grows happily. People should also have this indomitable spirit, and live and work with a strong will regardless of good times and bad times.
Cactus is also a good medicine. It helps when people are sick. For example, if they get mumps, mash it with stones and smear it on their cheeks, and they can be cured quickly.
Cactus has no flowers that people admire at first sight, and it has no colorful body. It is covered with needles, which makes people feel chilly at first sight. How admirable is its noble quality of obscurity and selfless dedication.
