What happened next? Would Chang be rescued? Was it of use to have a short name? What was the danger of having a honourable and long name?

Naughty little boys seldom heed to their mother’s advice. She would warn them not to go near the well as they could fall in it.

A delightful re-telling of an ancient folk tale about why the Chinese thought it wise to give all their children little and short names instead of long and great ones. The mother would go daily to a nearby stream to wash clothes. Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel and illustrated by Blair Lent. Arlene Tichy Mosel was a American author of childrens literature who was best-known for her illustrated books Tikki Tikki Tembo, a retelling of a Chinese. Her second son was called Chang which meant “little or nothing”. Her first son was called Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo which meant “the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world!”. There lived a mother in a village on the mountain who had two little sons. The catch was that the long names couldn’t be shortened as it would mean not paying reverence to the person. The subsequent sons were hardly given any names in comparison.
