The Peach Boy


"Charge"

Do you know "The Peach Body"? I think that many people know this story. I know this story and I also performed this story when I was junior high student. This story is very popular in Japan. The story is very good for all children. I love peach boy. I want to marry like him. I love this human who is gentle and understand other person feeling and stand by weak side.

Now, I am going to tell you about this story. The character is old woman, old man, a dog, a monkey, a pheasant and Peach boy. The old woman goes to river to wash their clothes and other something. And the very big peach float in the river. So, she takes it and come back at her house. The old man also surprised. They cut this peach. And it born small human boy. He born from peach. So, he was named "Peach boy". He is very strong in his town. He hear that giant ogres takes all jewels. So, he decide to go ogre island. He get some dumplings from old woman and left there. When he go ogre island, he meet many kind of animal. The animal is dog, monkey and pheasant. The animal want to his dumplings. So, they get it and instead go with boy. And fight the ogre. They win and take all jewels.

The boy is very brave. I used to read before. The last page of this book, there is a short sentence. "In Japan, peaches are a symbol of good luck for couples who are trying to have a baby." Do you know this thing? I do not it. So, I was very surprised very much. I love peach. But I suffer that if the boy born. Hahaha~!!
