This was becausethey did not understand the good teachings of theBahá'í Faith.One day, this merchant saw acamel-load of charcoal thatbelonged to the Bahá’ís. Hetook the charcoal and did notpay for it.When Abdu’l-Bahá heard this,he went to the merchant’s shop and asked for thereturn of the charcoal. The merchant did not payAbdu’l-Bahá any attention. Abdu’l-Bahá patiently satthere and waited. After three hours, the merchantasked Abdu’l-Bahá, what He had done that He waskept in the prison. Abdu’l-Bahá replied that His crimewas the same one for which Christ was persecuted.The merchant was very surprised that Abdu’l-Baháknows so much about Christ and His Teachings. Thismade him very happy. He was very impressed and hebecame very respectful to Abdu’l-Bahá. Though thecharcoal was gone, he agreed to pay for it.

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!
