Behind the scenes

• Several names are mixed up in this story. The poor relatives of the Llongo tribe are first called Llongo aswell, then Llono and finally Llona for the majority of the story. The character from this tribe is first called Llon, then Doctor Llono, and finally Alon.
• The reference to "The Drummer of Timpenni" changes the tribe's name to Timpani, and The Drummer does not look quite like his previous appearances.
