Twilight Sparkle is looking a phrase up in 'Mare in the Moon' in a reference book, Predictions and Prophecies. Like a dictionary, this book does not bother with articles.

Than you very much! And would you mind if I ask you one more question? Does there exist a difference between "olden time" and "olden times"?
