What is in a name?


Tikki Tikki Tembo


Names are important because if you don`t have a name it`s going to be hard for you. People don`t know you and people can call you a bad name. Another thing is important because when people hear your name people might think about who are you belong to and what country you belong to. Even if your are not a perfect person but if you have a good name people don`t usally bother you.Sometimes parents choose their children`s name, because they like the sound, they like the meaning, or they name their children after someone else.

In the story Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel there was a boy who has a long name because his mom likes the meaning of his name and his name means the most wonderful in the world.

Once when Tikki fell into the well his brother hurried and tried to tell his mom. Because of his long name his brother coldn`t say clearly, so his mom couldn`t understand. His brother had to say it again again so that his mom could understand clearly. And because of his name it took him very long to get out of the well and it took him a long time to get well.
