Mr. Hoppy is secretly in love with Mrs. Silver who lives in the flat below. But Mr. Hoppy is so shy, he doesn’t dare to express his feelings. Hopefully, Mrs. Silver has a tortoise called Alfie that is not growing and this will allow Mr. Hoppy, with a little trickery, to get closer to Mrs. Silver. He will finally be able to declare his love, and they will live happily ever after.
