The hat of Applejack is known by many. It makes the mare who she is, it really makes Applejack, Applejack. But how she got the hat is a question where few know the answer on. One day, Apple Bloom can't hold her curiosity any longer and just asks the simple question, 'How did you got your hat?'.

Credit for the cover image goes to the original creator.
An idea born when a friend of mine gave me a link leading to the cover image, on which a big part of the story is based on. I just sat down for an hour and just wrote the story down, after some editing it was to my liking and, there it was.
Chapters (1)
Very nice.
I think that cover image gave me diabeetus.
1610593 I am glad you like it my dear.
1610663 *gulps* I, I did not have the intention to let that happen to be honest. A-are you alright my dear?
It contradicts my head-canon but meh... Awesome story you got there!
A little while later Big Macintosh passed them and looked at the sight, letting go a small smile, “And so passes it over, from generation to generation. I think you mean, it passes. Other than that. Really nice, I liked it a lot.
1610727 I am glad you like it my dear.
1610746 0-0... Now that I realize it... I shall change that up right away. But I am glad you enjoyed it my dear, for that is the main point with my stories, to entertain ponies.
How did you get your hat?
1610790 Do I have a valid excuse if I say it is a filly and her speech pattern has not fully developed yet? Because in my ears, it does sound just fine.
good little story, but I did see some grammatical errors, southern drawl or not there are a few places you can brush up a little bit. Assuming that AppleBloom is the same age as what we know from the show, some of the way you worded things don't make 100% sense, but still a good little story!
1610833 You need a bare infinitive after "did", "do" or "does"...
awwww.
so cute!!
Looks promising, The idea of where AJ got her hat from could of really been turned into a sad story. I check this for read later...
I was expecting a 3 chapter long sad syory, but I got this. Close enough.

Nice little story you got here,
it would be a shame if sssssomething were to happen to itbut you have one massively glaring grammar problem:New Speaker, New Line.
It's kind of one of the big errors that throws me off of a fic, due to how easily noticable it is. Basic rule, the moment Apple Bloom's mouth shuts and Applejack's opens, hit Enter and start a new paragraph.
Other than that, this looks in good shape! I'm not an expert on southern accents, but I didn't see any glaring spelling mistakes, and the language flows quite simply and nicely, lending itself a lot to Apple Bloom's perspective as a minor.
Well howdy doo, this is the umpteeth time in a week AJ's hat was written about!
Is that a new record?
You need a proof-reader bud. I'm only two paragraphs in and I've found about three major errors.
Once again, always always Always, remember that each new speaker gets a new line, usually with indentation. Also, avoid repetition. For example, instead of saying trotted repeatedly, use the full repetoire of movement types this fandom leaves available to you: paced, cantered, tromped, tread, walked, etc. It makes the story feel a little bit more engaging, and engagment of the audience is really all you can hope for in a story. Lastly, applejack breaks out of her "Ah's" and switches to "I's" at the midpoint in the story. 'Twas a good one shot nonetheless.
1612389 I'm about to contribute a version myself
1610684
And I just now clue into who you are.
(falls over unconscious, leg twitches)
1613459 Oh dear.... D-do we have a medic here!?
1610958 Grammar is indeed something I need to work on and I am trying, but when English is a foreign language for you, mistakes will be made.
1611154 I shall keep that in mind darling.
1611214 Why thank you my dear.
1611635 I can not thank you enough darling!
1611985 I know it should be that way, but I am used to read in a different manner where it is not be done, sadly it took over in my writing... For the rest I am happy there were no major faults.
1612315 I am glad you liked it darling, I know it could have been sadder but writing this story in class and then suddenly break out into tears, is not going to do the best of things. And I shall have a look at that one when I have the time.
1612389 I think it could be, I didn't nor do I keep track of it all.
1612521 Do I have a bit of a excuse if I say that English is my second language? But I really should get one yes.
1612983 I know I should do that, but my own grammatical structure has the tendency to just clash with the structure you mentioned, I am trying to do it, do not get me wrong here, I am trying my utmost best. It is also a bit more of a personal issue, having to translate every single word because English isn't your first language I tend to get stuck in a repetition of words sadly. And I thought I changed everything up... Guess I overlooked a couple of them... Something to do this afternoon then.

It's ok everyone. Just got a little too excited from being in the presence of Best Pony.
What? Y'all can't argue. You now it's true.
1613691 *sighs of relief* Thank goodness for that. And I am not going to argue this endless 'best Pony' argument, for you can discuss it to the end of time and still have no clear point, in my opinion that is.
1614100
Hmm, you've made an excellent point.
Excuse me....

1615050 A lesson I learned, quite the while, ago.

Still my favourite pony.
1615312 *giggles* I am not going to argue someponies favorite pony, for it a personal decision which is different for everypony.
1615335
I have to say, I have no favourite pony.
Every pony is best pony. And so is Spike.
1616449 That is indeed the safest thing to say in this matter yes.
And it was on this day, the manliest kind of tears were shed: the tears of a Marine. My hat's off to you partner.
1623281 I, I, I am speechless sir. I truly do not know a proper way to react to this, wonderful revelation. ~Rarity
1624744 A thanks will suffice.

Seems I've read this gem before.
And I recall it. Not a bad story at all.

3050654 0-o You did? I didn't expect that really.
I thought you did a good job in writing this short story and it was simply a joy to read. It made me smile and I could actually picture this in my head as a canon episode. I just have to say simply thanks for the pleasant tale to read.
