Many years after Noah, ponies forgot about Amalthea and prayed to idols made from stone and clay. But there was one pony who chose to serve Amalthea, his name was Abram.
Abram's father had taken his family from the city of Ur to Haran. One day, Amalthea spoke to Abram.
"I want you to leave Haran and go to a new land, which I will give to you and your desendants"
Abram and his wife, Sarah, went from place to place, living in tents. When they reached Canaan, Amalthea made Abram a promise.
"You will have a son, and your descendants will be as numerous as the stars. Your name shall no longer be Abram, but Abraham"
Many years later, Abraham still had no son. Then three messengers from Amalthea arrived. They told him that in a year's time, Sarah would have a son. Sarah heard this and she laughed knowing she was to old to have a son.
When Abraham was 100 years old, Amalthea kept her promise and Sarah had a son. She named him Isaac meaning laughter, for she was given laughter in her old age by Amalthea. Abraham loved Isaac greatly.
When Isaac was older, Abraham sent his servant back to Haran to choose a wife for Isaac. The servant asked Amalthea in prayer to show him the right pony. When he saw the mare named Rebekah, he knew she was Amalthea's choice for Isaac's wife.
Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons named Esau and Jacob, who were fiercely competitive. One day, Esau was so hungry that he agreed to give up his inheritance in return for some of Jacob's stew.
Isaac wanted to bless Esau, but with help from Rebekah, Jacob disguised himself as his brother, and tricked his dying father into giving him the blessing. Esau was furious, he vowed to kill Jacob.
Jacob ran for his life. But Amalthea promised to bless him. Jacob went to work for his uncle Laban and married Leah and Rachel. When he returned to Canaan with his family, he made peace with Esau.
Jacob had twelve sons, one of them was Joseph.
Of all of his sons, Jacob loved Joseph the most and gave him a beautiful multicolored coat.
Joseph had strange dreams that seemed to predict the future. His brothers were jealous of him.
Joseph's brothers wanted to get rid of him. So they sold him as a slave to some passing traders, who were traveling to the land of the Griffons.
The brothers then dipped Joseph's coat in goat's blood and told their father that Joseph was eaten by a wild animal.
Amalthea looked after Joseph by helping him to explain the Griffon King's dream. When Joseph predicted a terrible famine, The king put him in charge of storing food, and there was plenty to eat for all.
Joseph's brothers left Canaan for the land of the Griffons in search of food. Joseph forgave them for what they had done to him. He sent for his father and was overjoyed to see him. The whole family settled in the Griffon lands before forming their own nations.
