What does the monkey mean by picking peaches?

The Monkey Picks Peaches is a fable, which tells the story of a monkey planting peach trees in the garden. After careful cultivation, peach trees are full of peaches. Peaches are growing up, changing from cyan to red. It's time to pick them. However, the monkey was too greedy to pick a better peach, so that he missed the opportunity to pick a peach and finally didn't pick a peach.
