Mrs Silver and Mr Hoppy get married at the end, and Alfie the tortoise is adopted by a young girl. Indeed, Mr Hoppy then replaces the big turtles with smaller turtles until Mrs Silver is happy again. Mrs Silver complains to Mr Hoppy and wishes for the tortoises to become smaller. However, soon the tortoise weighs 27 ounces and cannot fit through the door. In order to make the magic a reality, Mr Hoppy buys many turtles of an increasing weight, an every week when Mrs Silver says the magic words, he exchanges the turtles with one weighing a lot more. Which translates to, “Tortoise, tortoise, get bigger bigger! Come on, tortoise, grow up, puff up, shoot up! Spring up, blow up, swell up! Gorge! Guzzle! Stuff! Gulp! Put on fat, tortoise, put on fat! Get on, get on, gobble food!”. In order to earn her affections, Mr Hoppy pretends to claim to know how to make Alfie grow bigger. One day, she complains to him about why Alfie does not grow bigger. Mrs Silver spends her days with her beloved tortoise, Alfie, and sometimes exchanges conversations with Mr Hoppy. The story revolves around the shy old man, Mr Hoppy, as he tries to pursue a relationship with his neighbour, Mrs Silver.
