Bobby then reaches for the book, and once he makes contact, he realizes the mage was not so foolish; the book was cursed. His head immediately grew three times in size. Bobby panicked and didn't know what to do. He immediately tried to run out of the den but smashed the top of his head on the small door frame and fell on his rear. The mage was returning from his walk and began to rush over once he saw the den's door was open. Bobby shrank himself, but his enlarged head was still very visible. The mage easily spotted Bobby and put a curse that would permanently freeze him in place. Bobby was now stuck in a small figurine-style form with a large head. The mage, who was good friends with the king, turned him in to the Great King for his attempted thievery.
