The Story
““WELCOME TO the place called Nuff and Plenty,
every ting you want deh yah plenty-plenty!” The Nuff and
Plenty community is having their annual thanksgiving celebrations,
led by Miss Gertie who has tried to give her people all they
need. But there are always those who want more – Mr. Gravalicious
Brown, the resident entrepreneur and his wife Mrs. Mattitilda
Brown are sure that they can provide new opportunities to the
villagers. When discord arises over the results of the Miss
Nuff and Plenty Beauty Contest, Miss Gertie’s supporters
look to see what Gravalicious Brown can offer. With him, they
can get the chance to go to Foreign… where surely there
is nuff more and plenty more to be had.
Even the headmaster of the Nuff and Plenty Basic Elementary
Junior High School, Principaul is tempted, much to the dismay
of his senior teacher Miss Match. Watching over the situation,
Sister Birdie, the warner woman gives notice to Miss Gertie
that change is coming and she had better prepare. As Gravalicious’
schemes get more elaborate and complicated – Teneisha
and Myute, two school children bewildered by the adults actions
sum it up in the timeless words – “Whatta pem-peh-lem!”
In the end, Gravalicious plans do not materialize in the way
he thought, it is left to Miss Gertie to remind the community
that there is always more to life than meets the eye.
