1. Retelling the story of The Peach Tree in the words of the character, younger brother model 1 (Standard)

My family consists of two siblings, with our parents passing away early. I relied solely on my older brother. However, not long after, he had to get married, and his ill-fated wife led him to divide the family assets. Everything belonged to them, while I was left with just a small garden and a peach tree.

During the peach season, the tree was laden with fruits. I secretly rejoiced, thinking of selling the peaches to earn money for rice and vegetables. Suddenly, a black bird appeared out of nowhere, perched on the tree, pecking at the peaches one after another. I felt pity and said to the bird, 'Dear bird, please eat only one or two, or else I won't have any to sell.' Surprisingly, the bird could speak human language and replied, 'Eat one peach, pay a gold nugget, and use a large bag to carry it away,' as it continued eating.

The next day, the bird carried me to a deserted island where treasures of gold and silver were abundant. However, I only took enough gold matching the number of peaches the bird had consumed. After taking the gold, the bird flew me back home, making me wealthy. When my siblings heard the story, they insisted on exchanging the entire family fortune for the peach tree. Without much hesitation, I agreed. Little did I know, when the bird came to eat the peaches, my brother demanded ten bags of gold instead of the agreed three. When we reached the island for the gold, my brother's greed caused the bird to fall into the deep sea.

Since the day my brother died, I have always felt sorrow, but I believe it's due to his excessive greed that led to this tragic end.

2. Retell the story of The Peach Tree in the words of the character, older brother model 2 (Standard)

I am the eldest in the family. My parents passed away early, and I live with my younger brother. After getting married for a while and facing financial difficulties, I decided to divide the family wealth. Thinking that my younger brother was still strong and alone, a small garden would suffice, and in that garden, there was a peach tree that sustained our lives.

Surprisingly, my brother was incredibly fortunate. The peach tree bore fruit, and a bird that came to eat the peaches would repay with a gold nugget for each. My brother had the bird fly him to an island to collect the gold several times, becoming wealthy effortlessly. Excitedly, I discussed with my wife and decided to exchange our entire fortune for the peach tree, relying on the bird to bring us wealth without worrying about business endeavors.

My brother, being a kind person, agreed to the exchange. On the day the bird came to eat the peaches as usual, it instructed me to bring a large bag for the gold. Overjoyed, without much thought, I made a big bag to hold more gold. The bird flew me to the island to collect gold, and I filled the bag, even stuffing some into my clothes. Unexpectedly, due to the weight of the gold, the bird struggled to take off. In the midst of the flight, a strong gust of wind caused me to sway, holding onto too much gold without a firm grip, and I tumbled into the sea.

So I lost everything, my entire life, just because of greed.

3. Retell the fairy tale The Peach Tree in the words of the character within the story, model 3 (Standard)

Let me tell you about the peach tree in my house. In our garden, there's a peach tree that has been growing for many years. Since the loss of my parents and my brother's marriage, he only gave me a small garden and the peach tree. I've considered the peach tree as my companion ever since.

The peach tree didn't disappoint. During the blossom season that year, it bore an abundance of fruit. As the ripe, juicy peaches hung from the tree, ready for me to climb and harvest for both consumption and selling, a bird flew in. Thinking the land was blessed for the bird to perch, I let it eat without interference. Little did I know, it ate too much. I scolded, 'You've eaten so many of my peaches, what will I live on?' The bird replied, 'Eat one peach, and I'll repay with a gold nugget, carry it in a large bag.' Despite my disbelief, the next day, the bird returned to eat, singing the same tune. I followed suit. The bird flew me with a large bag to an island beyond the sea, where I joyfully collected gold. Despite the abundance, I only filled the bag, keeping to the agreed three bags, and then returned home.
