Inside the Giant Peach

"The tunnel was damp and murky, and all around him there was the curious bittersweet smell of fresh peach.
The floor was soggy under his knees, the walls were wet and sticky, and peach juice was dripping from the ceiling.
James opened his mouth and caught some of it on his tongue. It tasted delicious.
He was crawling uphill now, as though the tunnel were leading straight toward the very center of the gigantic fruit."
