Chapter 19

Everyone has just finished their meal when, at the start of Chapter 19, Centipede spots "black things" gliding through the water. Earthworm identifies these black shapes as sharks, and while the others silently agree, they are too afraid to admit it themselves. The characters try to create a false sense of security by saying they are safe if they stay atop the peach, but suddenly the sharks begin to attack the peach by eating chunks of it. Desperate, the creatures call out to James and beg him to think of a way out of the disaster.
