"Tikki tikki tembo" by Arlene Mosel.The first born son's full name is "Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo" which, according to the story, means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world" but is actually just gibberish. The second son's name is Chang which means "little or nothing" in the story, but not in actual Chinese. Also, the idea that first-born sons used to get long names, and other children hardly any, is not an accurate portrayal of the culture. Some suggest it is actually a take-off on a Japanese story, but still does not accurately reflect the culture.
