Slinky is trying so hard
One day, my children will look at me in the eye and ask: “Daddy, what is a hero?” At that moment, I shall stand up, look at the horizon, play this video and say:
“A hero, a real hero can be many things. For some, it may be a savior. For others, it is a conqueror. But a true hero is far more. Being a hero is to never give up in front of life’s hardest challenges, as everending they may seem, no matter how great the odds seem to be stacked. A hero may not always be successful. But it is the will, the strength, the idea, the perseverance that makes a hero. Heroes may die, but their spirit live on.”
Proud moment of silence shall follow.
That slinky is the embodiment of Perseverance
If that slinky could talk it would probably say something like
“Never give up! Never Surrender!!!”
I bet Spiderman left New York City for a day trip and when he came back, he saw the catastrophic aftermath of The Avengers and he was like
“I WAS GONE FOR ONE DAY. ONE DAY.”
