The story of a young boy with a VERY long name who falls in a well, but is rescued, comes to life in this play, adapted from the book by Arlene Mosel.The script is 4 pages long and features 5 characters: narrator, Chang, Tikki Tikki Tembo, mother and old man. Let it suffice to say that as in basketball, so too in aquatic events it is better, and less hazardous, to have a shorter name. This is a charming book so I don’t want to give away the ending. Of course, they didn’t have basketball in ancient China, so their names come into play a different way. If these two played sports we can be sure who’d be making all the great passes and who wouldn’t even make the team (try fitting that name on a jersey!). The second was simply called Chang while the first was named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo. ![]() Our story takes place in a small mountain village where a mother had two sons. ![]() We are told that long ago Chinese families would honor their firstborn sons with long names, and give their other sons very short names. Tikki Tikki Tembo is about this same lesson but in a very different setting. But “Jon!” would get my attention, and him the ball, much quicker. In basketball, for example, if a teammate was streaking up the sidelines and yelled for a pass, by the time he got out all three syllables of Jon- a-– than he wasn’t open anymore. My full first name is Jonathan, but long ago I learned there were benefits to using a shorter form.
