Benjamin loved listening to stories in his children’s neighbourhood class. Many of these were about a man named ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, who was loving, kind, and generous to everyone. But why was ‘Abdu’l-Bahá so special? After all, other people were loving, kind, and generous too! Benjamin decided to find out.

At his next class, he asked Hannah, a junior youth who helped her mother with the children’s classes, “Why was ‘Abdu’l-Bahá so special?” “That’s a great question,” said Hannah, smiling warmly. “How about you and me, find out? We can then do a presentation to the class.”

Benjamin beamed with excitement. “When can we start?” Hannah laughed. “I love your enthusiasm.”
