is that the one where the kid fell in a well?

 

[PaveHawk]

Yep, and his brother had a short name like Fred or Jack or something.

 

[FoBoT]

Chang was his brothers name
they both fell in the well, but Chang was saved quicker because he had a short name

I remember that phrase - "Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo" but remember nothing about the book.

Rikki Tikki Tavi was a better story. If you fall into a well your only hope is to fill my bucket faster to keep me happy enough to throw scrap down to you.
