The book title was later changed to LITTLE BRAVE SAMBO.
The story, for you youngsters was, a tiger is chasing Sambo. He finds a palm tree and starts running around it with the tiger in hot pursuit. He runs faster and faster and the tiger turns into butter. |

In the 90's I had a 1/2 black lab, 1/2 pit that I got from a shelter. He was black as night.
I named him Sambo because in the 70's I worked at Sambo's restaurant and to me he was the same as the Sambo character. I took him to a training class and at one point the instructor asked me "Can I use your dog for a demo and I said sure. She then asked me his name and I told her. She looked at me in confusion and said "I'll just call him Sam". |

I've got a Sambo's thermos and coffee cup on display in my china cabinet. The coffee cup has a few wooden nickels in the bottom.

Read it? Shit, my kindergarten class did that story as a play in during the 72-73 school year. I got to play a tiger and the only black kid in the class played Sambo.
If a teacher tried that these days, she would be fired quickly. The funny thing about my experience is that the teacher was a young woman who always struck me as something of a hippie. |

Sambo is a South Indian boy who lives with his father and mother, named Black Jumbo and Black Mumbo respectively. While out walking, Sambo encounters four hungry tigers, and he surrenders his colourful new clothes, shoes and umbrella so that they will not eat him. The tigers are vain and each thinks that it is better dressed than the others. They have a massive argument and chase each other around a tree until they are reduced to a pool of ghee (clarified butter). Sambo recovers his clothes and goes home, and his father later collects the ghee, which his mother uses to make pancakes.[3]

My son's name is Sam and I call him Sambo all the time. We were walking out of a restaurant and my son was standing in the exit doorway and there was a man standing behind him wanting to leave. I looked at my son and said "move Sambo".
This gentleman just so happened to be black. He got the most incredulous look on his face like "I just heard the most racism thing in my life". I said "Sam Move out of this man's way". That dude realized my sons name was Sam and I was referencing my son when I said "Sambo" and started dying laughing. It was pretty funny. |
