Fruit Quiz
Peach
Like a peach grown one at a time and left to soften, you ripen at your own pace and come as you are.
Peach trees bloom in spring and bear fruit in summer. To grow good peaches, growers thin out the young fruit so the nutrients go into fewer, bigger peaches. As the Japanese saying “peaches and chestnuts three years, persimmons eight” suggests, it's said to take several years from planting a young tree until it bears fruit.
A peach picked while still firm will soften and ripen if you leave it for a while. A ripe peach can be peeled by hand and eaten just as it is. You, too, focus on one thing, let it ripen slowly at your own pace, and face people just as you are, without any frills.
Because you ripen slowly, being hurried by others can actually make you freeze up. And while your mind is on one thing, other errands and messages tend to slip away. When you need time to think, a quick word asking people to wait lets them wait without worrying.

Banana — Banana also ripens after picking and can be peeled by hand and eaten as is. They share the same ripening pace and easygoing nature, so Peach, who tends to focus on one thing, can relax around Banana and its many projects.
Watermelon — Watermelon is a summer fruit too, also grown big by keeping only a few fruits per vine, and eaten by biting right in. Watermelon doesn't wait to ripen and moves as soon as an idea strikes, so it pulls slow-ripening Peach out to enjoy the summer.
Grapes — Grapes grow many berries in a bunch, are ready the moment they're picked, and have berries thinned out as they grow to shape the bunch. To Peach, who wants to let one thing ripen slowly and keep things relaxed, Grapes' planning can look a bit too tight, while to Grapes, Peach's plans can be hard to read.
