But that didn't worry him just then, and seeing some apricot trees farther on, he went to them.

Then he discovered some cherry trees; just beyond these were some tangerines.

"We've found 'most ev'ry kind of fruit but peaches," he said to himself, "so I guess there are peaches here, too, if I can find the trees." He searched here and there, paying no attention to his way, until he found that the trees surrounding him bore only nuts.

He put some walnuts in his pockets and kept on searching, and at last--right among the nut trees--he came upon one solitary peach tree.

It was a graceful, beautiful tree, but although it was thickly leaved, it bore no fruit except one large, splendid peach, rosy-cheeked and fuzzy and just right to eat.
In his heart he doubted this statement, for this was a solitary peach tree, while all the other fruits grew upon many trees set close to one another; but that one luscious bite made him unable to resist eating the rest of it, and soon the peach was all gone except the pit.
Button-Bright was about to throw this peach pit away when he noticed that it was of pure gold.
