Characters:

James
Centipede

Grasshopper

Spider
Earthworm

Ladybug

Silkworm
Glow worm

Plot: The Peach has rolled off the cliff into the ocean with some very hungry sharks.

The sharks start to gnaw at the peach with their sharp teeth. James quickly has to find

a way to get the giant peach off the water while all the insects are panicking.

Setting: The sea (with vicious and hungry sharks)

What happens: After crashing down the hill, the peach rolls right off the cliff and into
the water with those hungry and vicious sharks. All the insects are panicking as they

see the sharks crashing the waters, and gnawing at the peach, but James manages to

calm them down, but now they need to get away from the water before the sharks eat
the peach. James swiftly looks around and sees a seagull then he gets an idea. His

idea is to simply tie the seagulls to the peach until they start lifting the peach. The

Earthworm needs to be bait for the seagulls, but he constantly refuses. Eventually, the
insects and James manage to make the earthworm finally agree to be the bait. The

giant Earthworm lures in the seagulls while the Silkworm and Ms. Spider make string

ropes to capture the seagulls. James uses these ropes and ties them around the
seagulls' necks. Finally, with more than 500 hundred seagulls tied to the peach, it

finally lifts off the water and heads to the sky. A whole other journey awaits them as

they go higher and higher... -Renaya Raut
