Question
Why do you think Wanda’s family moved to a different city? Do you think life there was going to be different for their family?
Solution
It is likely that like Wanda, other members of her family also faced ridicule and mockery because of their long and different names. Wanda’s family moved to a big city as in the city everybody had funny names, so they would not face as much trouble in this regard. However, life could still be difficult for them as they could be teased about various other things.
