Gallus and the Opening of a Peanut Butter Jar

It's a nice sunny day at the School of Friendship.
Being a typical Saturday of no classes, Gallus is out walking in the halls, looking to pass the time.
Until he sees his dear friend, Silverstream, here also, though her not noticing him as she appears to be struggling to open a peanut butter jar.
“Hey Silverstream. You good?” Gallus asks as he walks up to her.
Looking up from the jar, she answers back: “I’m doing fine. Just wish I can open this jar of peanut buttery goodness.”
Hmm, let me have a crack at it.”
Silverstream hands Gallus the peanut butter jar.
Gallus puts both talons on it, hoping he can do it easily.
Though Gallus too appears to struggle opening the lid, trying to use all his strength.
After five minutes of Gallus accomplishing nothing, another fellow student (unicorn mare) walks over to them.
“Hi there! You need some help with that?” She kindly asks Gallus.
Not getting an answer, she just takes the jar right out of his talons with her magic, and with just one, strong, magical pull, she succeeds in getting the jar open.
Jaw dropped and shocked, Gallus just stares at the pony, thinking of how easy that was.
Okay,” She hands it back to Silverstream, "You don’t think he’s mad at me, do you?” She asks concerningly, pointing to a still shocked Gallus.
“I doubt it," Silverstream just waves it off, “Thanks anyway.”
“What are friends for.”
