Gather around and listen well, my little ponies. Hear the tales passed down by our ancestors and learn from them. Hear the stories of heroes and gods from ages past and learn the history of our proud and noble race. For we are the Children of Equis, and over all shall we hold dominion.

Hail to the speaker and him who listens! May whoever learns these words prosper because of them! Hail to those who listen! As it was, so it shall be and is and will be.
