  This story is a type of biography, and it follows the main character Isatour Ceesay and her friends as they try to make the Gambia more beautiful.

Her village in Njau, Gambia is getting inundated with lots of plastic bags and other types of plastic trash.

Her nation and village start to feel ugly to her, but she needs bags to put her fruits inside after her basket is broken.

Grandmother Mbombeh lives in a kitchen hut with her goats.

Grandmother serves some spicy rice and fish to Isatou.

She tells Grandmother Mbombeh about her broken basket and about the plastic bag she found.

She notices that more and more people in her village are starting to use plastic bags.

And they are also throwing them on the ground.

Her village is starting to get even more ugly, and she finds out that her grandmother's goats have been eating plastic bags.

The goats eat the plastic bags and twist their insides so they cannot survive.

Now, there is a pile of garbage in the village and mosquitos swarm near dirty pools of water.

Isatou's friend Fatim has the idea to wash the plastic bags with omo soap.

Isatou's sister decides to crochet the plastic bags into purses, and teaches Isatou how to do it.

Now, they ask their friends from the village to join them, and Isatou's friends agree.

They cut the bags and roll them into spools of plastic thread.

Afterwards, they crochet them into purses.

While others mocked these women as being dirty, they successfully made many purses.

Soon, many people in the village decide to buy these purses and put coins inside.

The pile of rubbish keeps getting smaller and smaller, and her village is more beautiful now.
