Summary:
The main character is James Henry Trotter. He had a happy life and lived peacefully with his mother and father. One day, James’s mother and father went to London to do some shopping, he was then 4 years old and there a terrible thing happened. a rhinoceros had escaped of the London Zoo. The rhinoceros had eating the parents of james. James lived further with his aunts: Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. His two aunts were very unfriendly to James. They were lazy and cruel.
After James Henry Trotter had been living with his aunts for three years there came a morning when something rather peculiar to him. When james worked, he began thinking about all the other children in the world and they might be doing at this moment. James turned and ran. He ran off as fast as he could to the far end of the garden and hid himself behind that clump of dirty old laurel bushes that we mentioned earlier on. Then he covered his face with his hands and began to cry.
James heard a rustling of leaves. And he turned round and saw an old man. When he spoke, his voice was very slow and creaky. The old man put a hand into the pocket of his jacket and took out a small white paper bag. He give James green things that looked like little stones or crystals.
James was back to his home. His foot slipped and he fell flat on his face in the grass. The paper bag burst open as it hit the ground and the thousands of tiny green things were scattered in all directions. The green things are growing and James crossed over to the tree trunk. It’s getting bigger and bigger.
The aunts of James and James stood still on the grass inderneath the tree. The paech didn’t stop with growing. The next day there came people to see the big peach.
Hungry and trembling, James stood alone out in the open, wondering what to do. The night was all around him now, and high overhead a wild white moon was riding in the sky. He started walking slowly towards the giant peach. he climbed over the frence that surrounded it, and stood directlt beneath it, staring up at its great bulging sides. He put out a hand and touched with the tip of one finger. There was a hole in the side of the peach. it was a quite a large hole.
James crawled in. It’s a tunnel. The tunnel was damp and murky, and all around him there was the curious bittersweet smell of fresh peach.
he noticed that there was a small door cut into the face of the peach stone. He gave a push and it swang open. James heard a voice he stopped and stared at the speakers.
He saw creatures one Old-green-Grasshopper, an enormous Spider. And next to the Spider, there was a giant Ladybird. On the floor , there was a Silkworm, an Earthworm, a Glow-worm and a Centipede. James became friends with the creatures and they all slept in the peach. James like his new friends.
The next day they had become awake. The peach was rolling and came to a village it rolled further to the ocean. Outside in the garden, at that very moment, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker had just taken their places at the front gate, with tickets in her hand. They saw that the peach was not there and started shout. James and the creatures saw that they in the middl of the sea were. A few ours later was everybody happy,but suddenly they saw fish around the peach. they will eat up the whole peach, but James had a idea. they bind ropes on seagulls and the peach began to fly. James and his friends fell asleep.
Next morning when they woke up they saw streets, cars and houses. He knew they were in America. Then they were going down and they landed on the Empire State Building. They were rich and famous in their new country. Every day of the week, hundreds of children from far and near came into the City to see James and the peach stone in the park.
