olferl had an amazing family. . .
First there was his father, Leopold,
whom he called Papa,
for short.
Next was his mother, Anna Maria,
whom he called
Mama for short.
Then there was his older sister, Marianne
and he called her
Nannerl for short.
Finally, there was his dog,
whom they called Bimperl, for short.
Of course, Mozart, having such an extremely long name had a nickname. It was Wolferl
for short,
and Wolfie, for shorter. They were not rich and lived in a small house, but "Wolfie" was a very happy-go-lucky kid.
