The Magic Hat

Oh, the magic hat, the magic hat! It moved like this and it moved like that! Where will it land next? One day, out of the blue, a magic hat comes to town. Each time it lands on someone the hat transforms the person into an animal. But we don't know what type of animal it will be until we turn the page. Then all of sudden a wizard appears and turns everyone back to their normal selves. And when the magic hat lands on the wizard's head, what do you think will happen?
