You\\\'re the Element of Generosity, but when it comes to \\\"compensate the dragon for his efforts\\\", not only does Rainbow Dash have to remind you of this, but you give Spike -- your little Spikey Wikey -- the TINIEST POSSIBLE GEM you can find after giving him an avalanche of things to remember about your high-maintenance Opal?
I mean, maybe, maybe, if we\\\'re being generous, we could try to see it as Rarity not wanting to have him get all worked up greedy about gems like on his birthday (and like Zecora noticed), but it didn\\\'t parse that way to me.
Anypony else?
Also -- I was gonna say it was AesopAmnesia that Spike doesn\\\'t remember really well the lesson learned about greed in \\\"The Secret of My Excess\\\", but then I started to think about it.
Gems are very rare to come by unless somebody like Rarity can find and extract them. When she does so, it\\\'s usually only to put them on a design of hers.
So for Spike, living in Ponyville, he\\\'s usually eating Pony food. Hay fries (as mentioned in the Gameloft game) and flower and grass and oat sandwiches, and sweet cakes from Sugarcube Corner. Gems are a treat for him, rare. Like humans going out for a whole lobster, or a big giant ribeye or filet mignon steak. So it wasn\\\'t so much greed as elation at having a bunch of his rare and special favorite that made him behave as he was, perhaps?
