Well, have you thought that Humpty Dumpty is only a Japanese TV series for children? Maybe you need to think again.
Humpty Dumpty can be applied to everything, from marketing to sales, or even to politics. But where did all this start from?
Humpty Dumpty: The Talking Egg
Humpty Dumpty is a character in a small poem for children which is very popular in the UK. Most English-speaking children are familiar with the lyrics, and with the fact that Humpty Dumpty has the shape of an egg.:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Such sweet, little poems are called limericks, and they are part o0f the British culture. For children like me, who learned English as a second or even a third language, Humpty Dumpty and all these silly jokes were non-sense. How comes this? I(t is normal: we have a completely different culture, a kind of humor which we like, but others cannot understand, and we cannot get such meaningless jokes very easily.
Of course, poor Humpty Dumpy doesn’t have any fault that we cannot integrate it in our childish games, but I’d really like to see Humpty Dumpty’s fans enjoying our Bula stories.
