There was once a foal. He was never loved nor cared for, and didn't have a friend in the world. This is his tale, the tale of Haikus.

Surly you haven't heard the story of Haikus? Because if you have, you'd be older than Starswirl himself. No, everypony has forgotten about Haikus, even my memory is a bit fuzzy. But, none the less, I'm here today to tell you his tale. That is, if you care to listen.

Oh, and his name is pronounced Hike-us.
