Chang falls in the well and his older brother runs to their mother, tells her Chang has fallen down the well, and Chang is rescued. A boy named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo ('The Most Wonderful Thing in the Whole Wide World') and his little brother Chang ('Little or Nothing') are playing near a well they had been warned by their mother to avoid. Tikki Tikki Tembo is set in ancient China and invents an ancient Chinese custom whereby parents honor their first-born sons with long, elaborate names that everyone is obliged to say completely – no nicknames, no shortening of any kind – while the second-born sons are typically given short, unimportant names.
