History Lesson

At an elementary school, a short first-grader stood before his class. He gazed out upon the eyes upon him.

"Go on, present your history lesson," encouraged his teacher.

The little boy swallowed, then said:
"For want of the nail, the horseshoe was lost.
For want of the horseshoe, the horse was lost.
For want of the horse, the rider was lost.
For want of the rider, the message was lost.
For want of the message, the battle was lost.
For the loss of the battle, the war was lost."

The teacher clapped her hooves together. "Very good, very good," she said, moving a few stray strands of her mane out of her face.

Meanwhile, in Equestria:

At an elementary school, a timid first-grader stood before his class. He gazed out upon the eyes upon him.

"Go on," encouraged Cheerilee.

The colt began:
"Agent 99 bucked her rider.
For want of the rider, the message was lost.
For want of the message, the battle was lost.
For the loss of the battle, Equestria conquered Earth.
Agent 99 was awarded a Hero of Equestria medal."

"Outstanding!" the teacher praised.
