Rainbow Dash is placed in a local hospital after her latest stunt goes wrong. As she slowly heals, she is offered a book by Twilight to pass the time. Blatantly calling reading an "egghead" hobby at first, her boredom gets the better of her, and is quickly drawn in by the written adventures of another courageous pegasus named Daring-Do (who is a reference to Indiana Jones). However, Dash is not about to admit to her friends that she was wrong about reading, and she intends to keep it that way. In the end, she reports to Princess Celestia that you shouldn't knock something until you try it.
