The Magic Hat(by Mem Fox)

This is the circle – that is my head

This is my mouth – with which words are said

These are my eyes – with which I see

This is my nose – that is a part of me

This is the hair – that grows on my head

This is the hat – which I wear on my head

 

Today, I am going to tell you a story entitle: The Magic Hat by Mem Fox.

One fine day, from out of town and without any warning at all

There appear a magic hat….

 

Oh, that magic hat

It moves like this and it moves like that

It spun through the air and over a road

And sat on the head of a wartyold toad

 

The magic hat, the magic hat

It moves like this and it moves like that

It spun through the air like a bouncing balloon

And sat on the head of a hairy baboon

 

Oh, the magic hat, the magic hat

It moves like this and it moves like that

It spun through the air and from way over there

And sat on the head of a sleepy old bear

 

 

Oh, the magic hat, the magic hat

It moves like this and it moves like that

It spun through the air, it’s true, it’s true

And sat on the head of a kangaroo

 

Oh, the magic hat, the magic hat

It moves like this and it moves like that

It spun through the air for a mile and a half

And sat on the head of a lofty giraffe

 

And then with a skip and then a hop,

Awizard appeared, with a sign that says, “STOP!”

So everyone stopped and stared in surprised at the wonderful wizard with sparkling eyes.

Who took from his beard with a nod and a wink and a wand which he waved.

And what do you think?

 

The toad, the baboon, the bear, and the roo and of course the giraffe. Oh what a too-do… turned back to the people dazed and confused. Watched by a crowd that was highly amused.

While no one was looking, the wizard meanwhile skipped out of town with a mysterious smile.

And of course on his head was the fabulous hat that made all the magic wherever it sat.

 

Oh, that magic hat, that magic hat

It moves like this and it moves like that

Where will it land next?

 

THE END. Thank you very much.
