well

what are you doing here

did you miss the train

no it came in uncle apple's judo was i

need

i can't wait to hear granny smith's

presentation

if she can remember any of it

long ago when i was a little pony

things were very different here in

ponyville because there was no

homie

that's right my little ponies me and my

family were children pony folks back

when i was a little philly or we

ventured far and wide collecting new

seeds and selling the old but my paw was

the finest seed collector in all

equestria

then one day the smith family found

themselves in the most brilliant most

grain most magnificent of all cities a

place called

danger

and as if the beauty of that city wasn't

enough suddenly

she appears princess celestia the most

regal of all hopes

she stopped to look at my paws seed

collection

then princess celestia saw that we were

plum tucker and hankering to find our

forever homes and being the royal

princess you know she knew exactly the

place for us to lay down our steaks

my paw gave the princess a mighty thanks

we quickly found that land near the

ever-free forest and we built our first

home

next we planted our first orchard

but an orchard don't grow overnight and

we were getting mighty short on food

now mind you we were cautioned about the

forest and we knew that it was not fit

to enter

but i knew if there was critters living

there there must be something to eat it

was dark and musky and i won't lie here

it was scary but every inch was covered

in plant life and before i knew it

wasn't i standing in front of the most

incredible

apple trees

i have never seen anything that bore

this kind of colorful fruit

oh i started picking apple squeaky as a

whip

in my life

i did the only thing i could think of

[Music]

my paw and i planted those special apple

seeds and before our eyes they grew like

wildfire

while we had full grown trees faster

than you could say look at this grid

then each year i pay close attention to

the signs of the zap apple special

harvesting times how the weather affects

the ever-free forest how the

timberwolves held when the zap apples

first start growing and how they zipped

away if you didn't pick them all in one

day and the fruits of our labor were the

best fruit we ever tasted

soon enough i was mixing up batches of

that apple jam just like harvesting the

dead apples had its special rules so did

making zip apple jam

i learned that you gotta be extra

friendly with the bees otherwise their

honey won't taste right and sweet to mix

in with their fair foot

[Music]

the glass jars needed talking to

or that jeff apples like pink polka dots

but magicking as magic does just funny

that way then pony started coming to our

farm from far and wide just to get a

taste in my zip apple jam some even

decided to stay like stinking rich

diamond chiara's great grandfather

matter of fact the first thing he ever

saw was my zap apple jam

[Music]

and this is how ponyville was founded

oh thank you kindly little

so if it weren't for you and the zap

apples ponyville wouldn't even exist

darn tootin little billy

if it weren't for my granny smith your

daddy wouldn't have barnyard bargains

[Music]

she

lady is is the most amazing pony in all

ponyville

[Music]

i think this is the best that puffle jam

i've tasted yet must be because you had

something to do with it apple blue

you apple bloom is one hum digger

of a zap apple jammer

[Music]

so i take it family appreciation day

went well

did it my granny smith is super special

i just forgot that for a little while

oh don't fred i forget things all the

time now i'll get you

[Music]

who wants to help granny sing to the

water

[Music]

diamond tiara

[Music]
