I am angry because I paid my $5.00 to download the Bahai Stories and I could only download the first 11 pages. What can you do to help me?

it was of great help. tq

I'm glad it's useful. I did inserted the images for the first few stories to help young children understand what's a crowded bus in the middle east, how does a horse carriage look like as most have never seen one before. You can download the word document version & edit the rest of the story with more pictures/images to help young children understand better. :) Allah'u'abha!
