00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.300
Dear Orlando Drummond

00:00:38.401 --> 00:00:42.601
I am writing this letter to congratulate you

00:00:42.701 --> 00:00:46.701
for your 94th birthday.

00:00:46.882 --> 00:00:51.002
Do not be surprised for receiving this letter from a stranger.

00:00:51.103 --> 00:00:53.503
Despite not knowing me,

00:00:53.603 --> 00:00:56.503
I know you very well.

00:00:56.604 --> 00:01:04.804
As many know you by your deeds,
being they single or monumental.

00:01:05.405 --> 00:01:09.105
Although we are very different by our appearances,

00:01:09.205 --> 00:01:12.405
we are many alike.

00:01:12.506 --> 00:01:20.406
Your journey began as mine:
A long, long time ago.

00:01:20.507 --> 00:01:26.107
I always sought something that
would make many ponies happy,

00:01:26.208 --> 00:01:30.208
making them live in peace and harmony.

00:01:30.409 --> 00:01:37.509
Imprint a smile on a stranger's face
is something very valuable.

00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:43.810
I've learned and met many spells and enchantments,

00:01:43.911 --> 00:01:49.811
but this magic is inexplicable; even for me.

00:01:50.012 --> 00:01:56.612
I strengthened my knowledge,
but won very few friends.

00:01:56.713 --> 00:02:02.213
My trails are too long for anyone to try to follow me,

00:02:02.313 --> 00:02:04.913
because I'm always traveling.

00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:10.214
Despite my advanced age and fatigue,

00:02:10.314 --> 00:02:12.714
I didn't stop walking.

00:02:13.015 --> 00:02:18.415
I'm always looking for more knowledge and new friendships

00:02:18.515 --> 00:02:21.715
to try to cohabit and learn.

00:02:21.816 --> 00:02:29.016
You have many dear friends, my dear Drummond.
And will still have many others.

00:02:29.118 --> 00:02:33.718
There are many smiles to be discovered yet.

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:39.919
I wish you a happy birthday and many happy returns.

00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:43.720
With much care and joy,

00:02:43.821 --> 00:02:46.721
StarSwirl, the Bearded.
