The Super Pickle and the Cat

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 still see everything clearly. Besides, the cat can climb over walls and roofs, and has nine lives, which means it can resurrect after death. Such extraordinary powers, who wouldn't want to possess?

The first thing the pickle learned from the cat was how to climb over walls and roofs. The cat first let the pickle practice climbing trees. After becoming proficient in climbing, he began to slowly walk on the wall, then quickly walk, and then walk on the wall at night. All the previous steps were easy to learn, but when practicing walking on the wall at night, the pickle kept falling off the wall, and got so dizzy from the falls. Every time he fell and couldn't bear the pain, he would start calling out Rose's name. Strangely enough, every time he thought of Rose, his headache disappeared.

Seeing that the pickle's head was full of bumps, Mama Ma felt heartbroken and said to him: "Child, let's stop this, shall we?" But the pickle disagreed. Mama Ma then said: "Possible things require persistence, impossible things mean a dead end if you persist. Back in the day, your father didn't want to be a pickle either. 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 to stop digging, but he insisted and ended up dying on the mountain without finding a single piece of gold. This left me to raise all of you alone, and we've been poor ever since. Now you want to be some kind of superhero, is that even possible?"

The pickle replied: "Mom, success only comes to those who dare to dream and act. If one doesn't believe in oneself, how can one succeed? Look at my master Cat, he walks just fine! The key is to learn from failure and make progress."

Next, while following the cat's recipe to eat more carrots and other foods high in Vitamin A during the day and sleep, and then stay active at night to gradually adapt to the dark environment, after adapting for a period of time, as described in "Super Pickle II - The Pickle and the Butterfly", when practicing climbing the wall again, he fell less frequently, and his vision improved significantly. Eventually, he could climb walls and roofs just like the cat.
