Peanut was cleaning up his room, like his mother had asked him to do, and had just finished putting his name-tag back on the door when his father walked over, already angry at him.
“What's the matter, dad?” Peanut asked carefully.
"Why can't you have a tough, meaty name like your mother and me? It's embarrassing to have a son named Peanut!"
Where they lived, in the Mouse Kingdom, the Chief Mouse named all of the baby mice by how strong they looked. Peanut was a very small baby who didn't look like he would ever be very strong, and so he got the name Peanut.
Now that he finally knew why his father didn't like him, Peanut knew what he had to do. He had to go ask Chief Mouse for a new name!
