As Oscar turned the pages of the book, strange things started happening. The pranks he played on others started happening to him! He was turned into a tiny frog, soaked in a rainstorm, and chased by a swarm of bees. Oscar realized the book was teaching him a lesson about the consequences of his actions.

Desperate to undo the spells, Oscar sought the help of a wise old owl named Oliver. Oliver told him that only by listening to others and being kind could he break the spells. Oscar agreed to listen and learn from his mistakes.
