But James spilled the Crystals under the Peach tree that never grew peaches. and the little crystal melted into the earth, the next morning, the two aunts saw a giant peach, the size of a little house was growing out of the peach tree.
one aunt wanted to eat it, and the other aunt telephoned the newspapers and tourists came to see the giant peach. Then the aunt charged a dollar each, and when the night came, the tourists had all gone. The two aunts sent James to pick up the garbage and can not eat dinner if he didn't clear all the garbage. James was picking when he saw a giant hole inside the peach.  and he climbed in the peach, he licked the walls , they were so sweet, and when he bumbed his head on a hard thing , he realized it was the shell and he saw it's the door. and he saw a giant centipede and a giant grasshopper, lady bug and spider and a silk worm, a dragonfly .
