Okay let's give this a read!
Aahhhh so an Alpha Latin nurmerical sort of order, or am I just going crazy? Cool idea though. Especially given all the Alt realities that seem possible even in show canon, having something like this is totally plausible.
Aha so I was on the right track! Cooool
*cackles* That is hilarious! Makes sense sure and mightnotbemeanttobefunnysincesheisamagician... but I still got a laugh!
she does have a perfectly valid point. Even Princess Celestia does this to an extent. You should give her more of a compensation Twi. It just isn't right otherwise.
WOah, that is deep. I mean makes sense that what we percive is by how we go about apprasing it. If we see a rock and just think of it as a rock, that is all we will ever percieve. But if we appraise it, study it, pick it up, check its weight... we might know it is an igneous rock from the inactive volcano near our location.
.
Sadly the rest is loke she said, beyound me. heh.
Team Rocket reference? Heh but great start, This is quite interesting and if I could hold my eyes open better I would comment even more. *sighs* Will read part 2 tomorrow and let you know what I think!
Thanks for the feedback.
Aww such a cute tale!
looks like others got to her first to find that happiness they lacked. I really liked this! Poor Cadence, she'll never get that lock of hair now. (But then the lesson I'm guessing it's we need to find our own happiness and not rely on others for it?)

I think that is pretty accurate. The original name for the story is "Secret of Happiness." The idea is that there is no secret to happiness. No amount of wealth, health, power, or knowledge will make you truly happy. And no lock of hair, or any magical cure, will make you happy; it is a fool's errand to look for it. Then the question becomes: Why is the bald mare happy if there is nothing to it? Well, simple, there is nothing to being happy, no secret. You just do it without relying on anything. At least, that is how I interpreted it.
So true, best way to get wisdom is by experience. If one never does anything, how can they gain knowledge in what is good or bad? Reading only gets one so far, where experience can take you the rest of the way.

I edited my previous answer to your comment after thinking some more.

You enjoying tie ins to your story here?
Such wisdom! Kind of reminds me of the kind of way King Solomon solved the ridiculous problems some of his subjects brought to him. Excellent addition to this!

You're welcome!

Well, it is highly pulling from a similar folk story about King Solomon. There are hundreds of those, including ones about the so-called a man who the famous storyteller Joel ben Izzy called the Japanese King Solomon. I am mostly ponifying old folk tales and adding my own spin on them. Sometimes I change the punchline or add elements to make the story deeper and more engaging.
8508125
I would totally agree to that! (Sorry if replies are weird on my kindle atm). Exactly though she is happy because she wants to be, not because of some silly lock of hair.

These were all stories I would tell around the campfire when I was a boy scout. I read a lot of folk stories and built up a repertoire. I can recite and alter them on the fly with ease now after having told them to others a few times.
8508146
Of course ^.^
8508168
but yeah I know best is of course the one of two women who each think a baby is their own. But yeah I love when people ponify old folk tales and the like, dusts them off so new people can hear them. Even if written in pony instead of original. Doing a great job I would say!
Japanese King Solomon? Oooh don't think I've heard any of those versions!
8508172
Folk tales were always fun. Never told many around a campfire, but when I visited my grandmother on my dad's side, we would stay up late telling them to each other. Not sure if I could still recite any though...
Excellent!!!!
I'm back for part 2! (heh waaaay after part one..... I be a bad ling. x.x)
Yikes, that's gotta hurt! Even as an alicorn, one can only withstand so much pain...
Poor Twilight! Does remind me of some other books though, where the poor/needy are hidden away to make a town/city look better.
Alas poor Twilight, your situation just keeps getting worse and worse! Where art thy friends when thou needest them? *sighs*
Well every king needs a crown, even if he is a crustacean. :P
Great ending to the two parter!
sorry it took so long to read.

I just changed the ending a bit. I want to know if you like this one better.

Awww now she is crying her eyes out, missing what the illusion showed/gave her even if things were not perfect! I do like this ending better. ^.^
Gotta love these misinterpretation stories. They are always an entertaining read to see how each character interprets what the other was trying to get across. Not sure which one I'd be more like, probably the disciple and totally think I was being made fun of pretty much.
And knowing which ones were not the right ones, together they might find the right one. Or if not, by the time the next foalish pony entered, the three of them might find it. Excellent, short and sweet. ^.^
An interesting boast. These kind of stories always make me scratch my head, being as clueless as the students. Though I would hope I would catch on in as little time as they. But it is true, sometimes there are no right answers. Not everything is black and white, there is plenty in the grey area. The big question is though, where does the question one wants answered belong?
