In a remote desert in the American West lived a Golden Barrel cactus named Barrel Bob and his cousin Fishook, a Coast Fishook cactus. Winters in the desert had been very dry the last few years so one very hot day the two decided to look for water. They were soon joined by Beavertail, a Prickly Pear cactus, and off they went. There were many surprises along the way, and before long they discovered the biggest surprise of all--an oasis. And what happened next is almost a miracle.
