Tenacity of Boys

Tenacious (1) - not easily pulled apart
Tenacious (2) - Persistent in seeking something valued or desired

TENACITY OF BOYS

tree limb letting go slowly —
              tenacious amputation with sticks & stones

Yes, those boys will not stop until they get what they want (but I feel sorry for the poor tree)
