Description: Mr. Hoppy has two loves. First is the flowers he has on his balcony…and second is the lovely Mrs. Silver who lives just below him. However, Mrs. Silver only has eyes for her tortoise named Alfie. Mr. Hoppy devises a clever plan to win the heart of Mrs. Silver. He designs a tortoise-catcher and creates magic words to say to Alfie that will make him grow, just like Mrs. Silver wants. In Dahl fashion, nonsense words and imagination are in abundance. Just a Heads Up: (General) Deceiving people isn’t a good idea, but Mr. Hoppy does trick Mrs. Silver in order to get what he wants.
