A colt who has just moved to Ponyville is bullied by his classmates. His cheeks flush when his new teacher Miss Cheerilee wears a daisy behind her ear.

Written for A Thousand Words Contest III. Submitted to the Slice of Life and Experimental categories, the latter because of the detached narrative style and because I know one judge who will hate it, but I want to expand their horizons. Winner of a pewter medal in the Slice of Life category.
