Welcome to the Friendship Institute!

As a part of the Friendship Programme, you have been provided with this book by renowned psychologist, Signal Friend MD. Within these covers, you will learn: how to make friends, the history of the Grand World Peace, and how to prepare yourself—mind and body—for your upcoming conversion into a pony.

If you work through carefully, you may find information in these pages useful to you in your daily life. The object is to read, to remember, and to comprehend.

Before you start, please find a private spot, alone, away from distractions such as security nurses and your fellow inpatients, far from disruptive sounds such as telephone booths and corrective sirens. When reading this book, you must be free of external interference.

Read. Remember. Comprehend.

The Six Habits of Very Friendly Ponies is based on Within the Wires written by Jeffrey Cranor and Janina Matthewson.
