Prompt - A One Trick Pony

https://grammarist.com/idiom/one-trick-pony/

A one-trick pony is someone or something that only has one talent or trick they are capable of performing. The idiom one-trick pony is usually said derisively, implying that the person or thing in question has little to offer. Someone who is a one-trick pony is not considered well-rounded.

But what IF that one trick pony discovers, by accident/by sudden great necessity, that they have more than one trick. They have many tricks. Maybe even some tricks waiting to manifest.

Adds:
JOE Biden was filmed saying "one horse pony" instead of the common saying "one trick pony".

So the pony isn't promiscuous?

What makes the Ice Age footprints found in B.C. so remarkable
Terry Glavin: Science and Indigenous knowledge have combined to challenge old thinking on when humans first arrived in North America

A section of soil where the impressions of human footprints buried at a shoreline archaeological site were discovered by researchers on Calvert Island, British Columbia, Canada. Charcoal found with the prints has been radiocarbon dated to 13,200 years before present, making them likely candidates for the oldest footprints ever found. (Joanne McSporran/CP)

Up and down the British Columbia coast, where abundant marine life has supported populous communities in large villages since the twilight of the ice age, archeological sites are as commonplace as barnacles. But there is nothing ordinary about a recent discovery at a remote cove on Calvert Island, about 100 km north of the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

It isn’t just that the find was so exquisite—29 footprints, likely from a man, a woman and a child. Going by the radiocarbon dating of sediments in the clay where the footprints were found, about half a metre below the sand, they walked there 13,000 years ago.

It isn’t just that these are the oldest footprints found in North America, either. Published last month in the journal PLOS One, the story of the Calvert Island footprints defies nearly a century’s worth of thinking about the long human journey into North America. Discovered in a joint archeological survey undertaken by the University of Victoria, the Hakai Institute and the Heiltsuk and Wuikinuxv tribal authorities, the Calvert Island footprints are the latest in a series of dramatic discoveries that place people on the B.C. coast long before they were supposed to be there.( Read more... )

Archeologists Find Evidence Confirming This Tribe’s Survival Through The Ice Age

Archeologists Find Evidence Confirming This Tribe’s Survival Through The Ice Age

A recent discovery in the most unexpected of locations just might have archaeologists rethinking everything they ever knew about the history of mankind during the Ice Age. When the team of archaeologists began their routine dig on a remote island off the western coast of Canada, they weren’t expecting to find much. Other archaeologists probably would have questioned what they were even doing there in the first place. To their surprise, they uncovered a treasure which changed everything. The initial discovery on Triquet Island was only the beginning. The archaeologists were digging there strictly based on a local legend they had heard.

Engulfed In Ice?
Throughout the Ice Age, a vast majority of Western Canada was completely covered in ice and was therefore uninhabitable. Because Triquet Island is situated just off the coast of British Columbia, scientists have long assumed that it too was frozen during the Ice Age.

This is why historians, scientists, and archeologists have rejected the claims of the Heiltsuk people. However, the group of archaeologists digging on Triquet Island would soon discover something that would shake this notion to its core.
