Roald Dahl's Esio Trot

When I first met him, Mr. Hoppy was a reclusive, elderly man who lives alone in an apartment complex. He has harbored a secret crush on Mrs. Silver, a neighbor who lives below him, for many years. Mr. Hoppy frequently leans over his balcony and converses politely with Mrs. Silver, but he is too shy to express his true feelings. Hoppy longs to tell Mrs. Silver how he feels, but he can never bring himself to form the words out of his mouth in time. Alfie, a small pet turtle owned by Mrs. Silver, is dearly loved by her. Mrs. Silver tells Mr. Hoppy one morning that she's had Alfie for many years, but he's only gained 3 ounces in weight and hasn't grown much at all. A more mature and respectable tortoise, she admits, is what she'd like for her son Alfie. As luck would have it, Mr. Hoppy has an idea on how to grant Mrs. Silver's dream and win her love at the same time.
