Zap Apple Harvest

[twilightpony]

The zap apples are ripe and Applejack and Big MacIntosh have been harvesting them since this morning. By tomorrow the apples they haven't yet picked will be gone.

I went over to help. They have to be hoof-picked one by one, so it's a slow process. I flew up to pick the top-most apples, but I'm a slow picker and it was tiring. By afternoon I was pretty drained. I kept bumping into the trees. After the third time a tree zapped me, I was past ready to call it a day. Applejack and BigMacIntosh are still at it, and Applebloom is helping out.

Spike and I have a dozen fresh zap apples for supper, fruit of the first harvest of the year.

Good to hear you two have some good zap apples!
And hopefully the shocking wasn't too bad.

Those trees give you quite a jolt! It's probably why I was still sore today. But the zap apples were worth it!

Good to hear they worth it! I've been shocked before, it makes sense you're still sore.

You were shocked? By a tree? Or an eel? I've read that they hunt using electric current and electric fields.

Not by a tree or an eel, but by a device I was examining that was still connected to it's power source, which was a bad idea by me.

Those eels are interesting for that ability though.
