　　Aren't you glad that mothers and fathers give names to their children? Names are the quickest and easiest and the most friendly way to say who's who. Another nice thing about names is that they do not change as people do. Yesterday Mary's hair was long. Today her hair is short. But her name is still Mary. On his birthday Uncle Tom didn't have moustaches. At Christmas time he did. But his name is still Tom. People are always changing, a little or a lot. But people's names are the same.
