why Chinese Have Very Short Names by dammymighty(m): 10:08pm On Aug 04, 2014 |
Once upon a time, a long time ago, it was the custom of all the fathers and mothers in China to give their first and honoured sons great long names. But the second sons were given hardly any name at all. In a small mountain village, there lived a mother who had two little sons. Her second son she called Chang which meant "little or nothing". But the first and honoured son, she called Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo, which meant "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world Every morning, the mother went to wash in a little stream near her house. The little boys always went chattering along with her. On the bank was an old well. "Don't go near the well," warned the mother, "or u would surely fall in" The boys did not always mind their mother and one day, they were playing beside the well, and on the well, when Chang fell in! Tekki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo ran as fast as his little legs could carry him to his mother and said "Most honourable mother, Chang has fallen into the well!" "The water roars, 'little blossom, 'i cannot hear you, "said the mother. Then Tekki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo raised his voce and cried, "Oh, most honourable one, Chang has fallen into the well!" "That troublesome boy," answered the mother. "Run and get the old man with the ladder to fish him out." Then Tekki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo ran as fast as his little legs could carry him to the old man with the ladder and said, "old man with the ladder, Chang has fallen into the well. Will you come and fish him out?" "So," said the old man with the ladder, "Chang has fallen into the well." He ran as fast as his old legs could carry him. Steps over steps, step over step, he went into the well, picked up little Chang, and step over step, step over step brought him out of the well. He pumped the water out of him and pushed the air into him, and pumped the water out of him and pushed the air into him and soon, Chang was just as good as ever! Now for several months the boys did not go near the well. But after the festival of the eight moon they ran to the well to eat their rice cakes. They ate near the well, they walked on the well and Tekki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo fell into the well..........to be continued |
