this book is a story about a man that falls in love with the lady on the apartment below him. that lady loves tortoises and owns one herself. the tortiose she owns will not grow and she would really like it to so, one day he gives a letter that reads 'tortiose tortiose please grow' but backwards. the next day when the lady when out for work he brought millons of tortioses and swaped the closest size tortiose with the one the lady had. he did that day after day but, one day the lady didn't go to work and found out what he was actually doing. she was really thankful for all his hard work that she had to admitt that she loved him so, the man said "i love u too" and they got married and lived happily ever after.
THE END!!!!
