Oh student of mine, it isn't a little thing that you are asking of me.

How should I…

Maybe, I'll tell you about how I learned It, this time. Maybe that will help you change your mind.

It's not a terribly long story, but it's lasted far longer than you've been alive. You learn the funniest things, in the funniest places, from the funniest ponies. I learned It from a mare who just wanted to forget.
