Mr. Hatch is tall and thin and lonely, and he does not smile. On Valentine's Day, he gets a surprise package in the mail. It is a heart-shaped, satin box filled with chocolates. "Somebody loves you", the note reads. He leaps for joy, he talks with his neighbors (something he has never done), and he even throws a party and makes many new friends. Never mind that the package was delivered to the wrong address!

Résumé
One wintry day, a postman delivers a mysterious package with a big pink bow to a lonely man named Mr. Hatch.

“Somebody loves you,” the note says.
“Somebody loves me!” Mr. Hatch sings as he dusts his living room.
“Somebody loves me!” Mr. Hatch whistles as he does his errands in town.
“But who,” Mr. Hatch wonders, “could that somebody be?”

After some time, Mr. Hatch discovers just who his secret admirer is and, in doing so, enjoys the biggest surprise of his life!
