How many peaches come in a box of peaches from a fruitstand?

It depends on the size of a box, whether you mean a bushel, a peck, or what. One source says they got 116 peaches in a bushel box. However, bushels are measured by weight rather than number, and a bushel of peaches is 50 pounds. A peck is a quarter bushel, so that could be around 29 peaches if you use the number from the source mentioned above. There are 2-3 peaches in a pound, depending on the size of the peaches, and there are roughly 50 pounds in a bushel.

As a side note, bushel sizes vary with the type of fruit. A bushel of apples is 48 pounds.

Also, if you mean the flat kind of wooden box with a plastic form to hold the peaches in a pattern in a single layer, the fruitstands in my area normally have 48 peaches to a box.

Kaa will trick her into trusting in him, if she doesn't Kaa will grab her feet with his coils, turn her face toward her and hypnotize her and she will be under his control and Kaa will start playing with her, first he'll take his coils and wrap them around her, then he'll command Peach to drop her extra skins, (Clothing) because he wants to eat something that has nothing on it, in this case, Peach with no clothes on. (I'm not being Sexiest, I'm just saying this would happen if she did meet him). Kaa would then wrap around her, lift her up, and he would start eating her feet, then legs, then stomach, then breasts, then neck, then head and finally hair and she will be devoured. Then Mario comes in, beats Kaa up, swings him like he does to Bowser, Peach will be out of Kaa's stomach, Mario picked up Peach's clothes, while Peach covering herself up when she came out and saw Mario. Mario gaave Peach her clothes, covered his eyes, Peach put them back on and she kisses him. Kaa lands in Bowser's Keep, Bowser burns him to a crisp, cut his eyes out, and he and his 7 koopalings ate KAA for supper instead of him devouring a person.
