Earth Pony History Month

Earth Pony History Month

Ponyville Schoolhouse, Ponyville- Today in the Ponyville Schoolhouse, a chorus of groans could be heard after the mentioning of Earth Pony History month to the student body.

"As soon as Ms. Cheerilee walked in carrying this old, dusty textbook with the words "The History of Farming" written on the cover, I knew it would be a at least a month until we learn something interesting...or in the slight bit useful,"commented Scootaloo, a young pegasus filly. "I mean its not totally lame. Earth ponies have... well they've... grown food."

Though most of the class seemed pretty upset at the news, one pony seemed very optimistic at the change in cirriculum. "Finally, we get ta the important suff,"says young Applebloom, earth pony. "Now all tha other ponies can learn about tha exciting life of tillin' crops and wrastlin' pigs. I was gettin' real tired of havin' to read about Pegasus wars and Unicorn technology. Is any ah that stuff even important? I thought not."

None of the young fillies and colts were able to comment further as they were detained by a lesson of how, Wheat Earth, a legendary earth pony, was able to pick a whole field of cotton in one day, under no supervision from his unicorn masters.
