The reason why the pickle wanted to learn from the cat is because the cat has many skills. First of all, the cat's eyes are very powerful. On pitch-black nights, when others' eyes become blind, the cat can see everything. Also, the cat can walk on walls and roofs, and it has nine lives, allowing it to come back to life after death. Such extraordinary abilities, who wouldn't want to possess them?
The pickle first learned wall-climbing from the cat. The cat first let the pickle learn how to climb trees. After becoming proficient, he started walking slowly on the walls, then quickly, and then at night on the walls. All the previous steps were easy to learn, but when practicing walking on the wall at night, the pickle kept falling off the wall, hitting his head so hard that he became dizzy. Every time he fell, when the pain was unbearable, he began to recite the name of Rose. It was strange; in "The Super Pickle and the Eggs," as long as the pickle thought about Rose, his headache disappeared. Seeing him with a lump on his head, Mapo Biscuit pitifully said to him: "Child, let's not learn this anymore." But the pickle disagreed. Mapo Biscuit then said: "Possible things require persistence, impossible things, persistence leads to a dead end. Back then, your father didn't want to be a pickle, he went up the mountain to dig for gold. But the gold on that mountain had already been dug up by others. Everyone advised him not to dig anymore, but he insisted, and eventually died on the mountain without digging up a single piece of gold, leaving me alone to take care of you kids, and we have remained poor until now. Now you want to be a superhero, is that even possible?" The pickle replied: "Mother, only those who dare to dream and act will succeed. If one doesn't believe in oneself, how can one succeed? Look at my master cat, isn't he walking just fine? The key is to find experience from failure and make progress."
In "The Super Pickle and the Witch," deep within the Beishan Mountain, there indeed lived an old witch. This witch, due to never brushing her teeth, had a very foul breath. Her servants couldn't stand her bad breath, and within a few days, either got sick or ran away. Due to a lack of service, the old witch could only live alone. She resided in a deep cave within the mountains, and unless she came out herself, it was very hard for ordinary people to find her. However, there was a landmark near where she lived.
Next, following the Hong Kong Super Pickle - the Old, the pickle followed the cat’s advice to eat more foods high in Vitamin A, such as carrots, while sleeping during the day and being active at night, gradually adapting to the dark environment. After adapting for some time, when practicing climbing walls again, he fell less often, and his vision improved. Eventually, he could walk on walls and roofs just like the cat.
