The
Story
 |
|
In the Kingdom of Zu-Zu Macca, all is not well. Hard times
are on the land. The people, led by Miss Matilda and her son Boysie,
decide to represent the people in petitioning King Zu Zu who lives
in his palace with Queen Peppermint, Princess Roses Flowers and
Prince Mahoe.
The Queen is sympathetic to the people’s plight. The King
however needs some enlightening. Then word comes of the invasion
by the Duke and Duchess of Cubbitch, who have come to claim a
debt incurred, they say, by King Zu-Zu’s ancestor.
Can the debt be paid? What will the Cubbitch do to Zu-Zu Macca?
It is of concern to everyone and as in all “village life,”
there are those who have hopes for a brighter tomorrow and those
who doubt that any good can come of it. Talk keeps circulating
about a place of the White Crocodile and a Pearl of Great Price.
If found, would these help Zu-Zu Macca in its time of trouble?
Queen Peppermint drafts her husband the King and their two time-
wasting children to go on the search along with the good Matilda
and her son Boysie. What do they find? What is the connection
to Pearl, an old woman who nobody except Miss Matilda, pays any
mind?
In the end, Zu-Zu Macca faces it destiny. A solution is found,
although some are not so pleased. However, as is customary - things
end happily for Zu-Zu Macca
