Ponies Through History (3)
The Princes in the Tower
In the fifteenth century, the King of Britain was a boy. This was not
good, for, as we all know, boys can be foolish and simple. The boy-king
was more interested in his Transformers than governing his kingdom, and
so his uncle Richard III took charge and let the boy and his brother play
in their bedroom all day.
This kindly uncle was then subjected to character defamation by the next
generation of ruler-ponies who said that he had murdered the boys while
they slept. They also said the uncle had a hunchback. We know this is
not true - Hasbro never made a hunchback mould.

Sir Walter Raleigh and the Cloak
When the Tudors reigned England, everyone was very proud of their beautiful
and colourful clothes. They also liked parties.
Queen Elizabeth I was especially fond of her shoes. When out for a walk
with Sir Walter Raleigh one day, they came across a puddle. Sir Walter
put his cloak down over the puddle so Queen Elizabeth would not get wet
feet. This made him one of her favourites.
Majesty thinks Sir Walter is dishy.
