A white crane with a bitter peach in his beak
Flew over thousands of miles, stopping to rest only once.
Wishing to get to Mount Peng-lai, abode of immortals,
He took this along as his foodstuff.
Before he arrived his feathers broke and fell,
Apart from the flock, his heart was dispirited and sad.
But when he returned home, his native nest,
He found out that his wife and kids no longer recognised him.

Besides, cranes do not eat peaches as far as I know.
