Answer 1

Tikki Tikki Tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip berry pembo. (I love reading this story out loud to my kids. It is so much fun to say! Now, you have it stuck in my mind and I'll be saying it all day long...)



Here's a synopsis from Amazon.com:

"Arlene Mosel retells an old Chinese folktale about how the people of China came to give their children short names after traditionally giving their "first and honored" sons grand, long names. Tikki tikki tembo (which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world") and his brother Chang (which means "little or nothing") get into trouble with a well, are saved by the Old Man with the Ladder"
