This story is about an old woman, an old man, an enormous peach, a brave little boy, a dog, a monkey and a pheasant. The old woman and man lived by a river. One morning, she saw something floating on the river. It was the biggest peach she had ever seen. She rolled it home. And he started to cut it open. Inside, there was a little boy. They called him Peach boy. Peach Boy grew up quickly.
One day, Peach Boy came to a nearby village. The people cried because giant ogres came and took all their jewels. Peach Boy had made up his mind that he will get them back. His father gave Peach Boy his finest sword, and his mother gave him six dumplings to eat on the way.
Peach Boy gave dog, a monkey and a pheasant each the dumpling and they promised him that they help him fight the ores. They went to Ogre Island, and they battled Ogres. Then, a fierce battle broke out. And he gave Peach Boy back the stolen jewels, and some food and the four friends.
