Plot – Orphaned at nine, James is entrusted to two unscrupulous aunts that force him to do the heaviest jobs. One day James meets a mysterious man who gives him a bag of green tongues. James spreads the tongues in front of a peach tree and a little later from one of the tree's branches a peach of over six meters in diameter was born. While the aunts think of how to benefit from the event, the boy bites the fruit, enters it and meets with a group of insects that live there.
