Last class we read book ‘Tiki Tiki Timbo’. Mr. Waters said that it is Chinese story, but when I was young I heard this story in Korea. Actually, one comedian made song with Tiki Tiki Timbo’s Korean version name (this song was popular 10 years or 15 years ago).
Korean version story is quiet same as Chinese version but Korean added reason of long name.
Long time ago, one couple had few babies but every baby was dying early. Therefore, the parents gave name to the new boy for long life. The boy’s last name is Kim and first name is Soo Han Moo (meaning that such a long life) Turtle Crane (long life animals) Sam Chun KapSa Dongbaksak (name of person who lived 180000years)……(there are 10 more words but it is hard to translate in English :( ) Korean version ended same as Chinese version. I don’t think Korean version was not published as book. Usually, Koreans think that this story is made up by Korean comedian.
