//------------------------------// // Foreword // Story: Luna Never Went to the Moon: Equestria's Thousand-Year Swindle // by Rambling Writer //------------------------------// It has been estimated (by me) that roughly 1.39458205% of the adult population of Equestria doesn’t believe that Luna was banished to the moon. That means that most of Equestria is a potential audience for this book. Hopefully, once this book has been circulated, that number will grow. With luck, eventually all of Equestria will know about one of the biggest hoaxes in Equestria’s history. While the moon banishing is gigantic, it actually takes a lesser place to such monstrous hoaxes as… The Great Chrysalis Banishing! The Great Tirek Banishing! The Great Discord Banishing! Plus banishings perpetrated by the Royal Court in the areas of enemy intelligence, angry cooks, incompetent zoologists, poor students, and on and on, ad infinitum. So read on… Enjoy and be illuminated. As Cervantrot said: “Patience, and shuffle the cards.” I have no idea what it means, but it sounds neat.
