“Changing a name does not change what something really is.”

Morgaff Doomweaver has decided that Magimajura’s names simply are not good enough. So he starts renaming everything! The Moonshadow Mountains become Mount Morgaff, Snaggleton becomes Bedraggleton, and even Wizzlethorp’s tower gets a new Morgaff-approved name.

In this ridiculous kids story podcast, Morgaff does not stop with places. Anyone who disagrees with him gets a silly new nickname too:

• 🧙 Wizzlethorp becomes Whimperthorp.
• 👵 Granny Gigglesnort becomes Granny Grumblewart.
• 🛡️ Sir Chucklenugget becomes Sir Chuckle-Nothing.
• 🧌 Grumblegut becomes Dumblebutt.

Granny and Wizzlethorp try explaining that simply announcing a new name does not make everyone use it. And calling people silly names does not prove that you are right. But Morgaff refuses to listen.

So they give him a taste of his own medicine and officially rename him! Morgaff is horrified and immediately complains that people cannot just change someone’s name because they feel like it. Exactly! Soon all his renaming orders are cancelled, and Snaggleton gets to stay Snaggleton.

A playful story about names, teasing and disagreements, showing that insults do not make an argument stronger - and rules can look very different when they are suddenly used on you.
