01x16 - An Apple for Starlight

[bunniefuu]

today we're going to study history and

mechanics now this is called a pulley

you use it to lift heavy weights

and i see a lot of little ponies who

don't want research today

that's better

now then as i was saying this is called

a pulley

uh oh

i feel a little faint

are you okay

well i i'm a bit dizzy for some reason

oh i may have a touch of fever i i

really don't think i should teach today

so uh we should all just go home huh oh

no don't know i always record my lessons

just in case something like this happens

uh starlight will you come up here

please yes miss hackney

now i want you to teach the clash today

you do

yes just play this tape and make sure

everyone studies their history and the

lesson on mechanics i

i expect all of you to mine starlight as

you would me i'll try to come back later

today

i hope i don't have to cancel recess

today

ow

melody

okay

because miss hackney isn't here doesn't

mean we're not going to learn

let's see what lesson she has on the

tape melody if you wanted to lift a

hundred pound sack of flour four feet in

the air how would you use a pulley to do

it melody stop listening to your music

bon bon do you know the answer if you

wanted to lift a hundred pound sack of

flour four feet in the air

mm-hmm

i didn't think so oh i know

bonbon would eat it

that does it

bright eyes sweetheart come up here

maybe we can make them understand the

importance of learning their lessons

lessons lessons pay attention to your

lessons though they may be tiring

knowledge is a precious thing

not much glamour learning all the rules

of grammar

study well each episode

reading writing doesn't always seem

exciting still next time you get

depressed when crying for tomorrow's

testimony

so learn your lessons well

learn

okay if that's the way you want to be

i'm going to report everyone to miss

hackney

oh what am i doing wrong i don't want

everyone to hate me but miss hackney

trusted me to help her out

you're trying to be miss happening

instead of just being yourself everyone

can have fun and still learn their

lessons hmm you're right you're right

so did you report us

i have a better idea we are going on a

field trip but miss hackney said for us

to learn our pony land history and

that's exactly what we're going to do

follow me

that's pony rock the first pony settlers

discovered pony land from up there how

do you know because she's the teacher

that's how listen there's more

the very first pony settlers lived in

what they now call pinto cave i bet

that's bento cave over there pinto cave

is now off limits to little ponies

because no pony in modern times has ever

fully explored it patch come back here

the entrance

let's go inside

wait don't go in there

we're not supposed to be in here it's

dangerous oh come on starlight how could

something so beautiful be dangerous i

guess we can explore just a little what

about our history lesson yeah this can

be our classroom today

isn't it getting kind of dark in here

yeah somebody hit the light switch i got

an emergency flashlight look

the archway to the past how do you know

i know i just made it up yeah pretty

neat huh

as your teacher and the pony in charge

of your safety i don't think it's a good

idea to go in there great let's go

everyone okay

look over there maybe it's some more

pony treasure

come on

let's see if i can open it

we're rich oh yeah real rich if all

tools are money don't spend it all in

one says i bet this is a wagon hitch

from the pony settlers wow a real piece

of pony land history and we found it

let's take it back and show it to ms

hackney that's a good idea

we should be getting back anyway

sure is slippery now we can handle it

i'll pull you push

you have to be very careful there's

minimal traction yes slick too well the

good news is nobody's hurt the bad news

is we can't get out of here we might

never be found down here

let's not panic because the pony

settlers got in here and they got out

all we have to figure out is how

sure easy is pie wait a second maybe

there's something useful on miss

hackney's tape

our pony ancestors were very clever and

learned how to use the things around

them as tools for such things as finding

food and to lift heavy objects that's it

if the pony settlers could do it so can

we

well is anybody gonna help me or do you

all wanna stay here until we're older

than the settlers of course with this

wagon hitch and that wheel we can make a

pulley yeah just like the drawing ms

hackney showed us this morning

hey this is cool

i never thought i'd actually use

something alert in school

my batteries ran out oh i hate the dark

don't worry clover you're with friends

what good are friends if you can't see

them

i have an idea we can use the batteries

from the tape recorder i'll do it

there now try patch hey we're back in

business

clover bonbon he'll get the wheel onto

the bar

that's it now where's the rope that was

in that old trunk here it is

catch

all right pull it tight

there one pulley ready for action

okay walk it over to the opening

now anchor it

now when's that end into the rocks up

there

it's just tall enough i i think it'll

work

okay clover you're first

all right everybody pull

just take it slow and easy

one down

clover toss your end of the row back to

us

you got it

okay bon bon you're next

come on ace almost

there right we did it

uh starlight who's gonna pull ace up

here hey no sweat i'm the best athlete

in school remember

sure

like i said

dead easy

okay let's eat okay we're awesome

everyone back to the schoolhouse

miss hockney

are you feeling better

oh yes much better thank you

starlight this is for you for being the

substitute teacher oh well thank you

so have you all done your lessons for

today

yes miss hackney

we just followed your tape

ace even gave us the demonstration on

how to use a pulley

well i i'm glad to hear that i've always

said learning should be fun right class

yes miss hackney

don't stray too far we'll be right back
