Do you know who ‘Abdu'l-Baha was? He was a very important person. ‘Abdu'l-Baha was the Son of Bahaullah. He was always very kind and good to others. He was a perfect example of what a Baha'i should be. This is a true story about ‘Abdu'l-Baha.
A long time ago, long before you were born, ‘Abdu'l-Baha came to America. While He was on His trip to America, He spoke to many different people ... men and women and children.
He went to many cities - to churches and temples and parks and meetings and houses to tell people about the Baha'i Faith. He spoke to young people and old people and black people and white people and tall people and short people and rich people and poor people...
He told them all about Baha'u'llah.
Wherever 'Abdu'l-Baha went, many Baha'is went with Him. They were Baha'is of all kinds - Persians in Persian clothes, and Americans in American clothes, tall Baha'is and short Baha'is and rich Baha'is and poor Baha'is and old Baha'is and young Baha'is. And all colors - white and yellow and tan and brown and black.
Once, while 'Abdu'l-Baha was in New York, He went to a place where many poor people lived, to tell them about Baha'u'llah. This place was called the Bowery.
Many Baha'is went to the Bowery with 'Abdu'l-Baha. As they walked down the streets, some people stared at them because they were so different.
Soon some of the children started shouting and laughing. They thought that it was funny to see so many different kinds of people together. And, of course, they didn't know who 'Abdu'l-Baha was.
Mrs. Kinney was one of the Baha'is with 'Abdu'l-Baha. 'Abdu'l-Baha was staying at her house in New York. It made her sad to see the boys laughing and shouting at 'Abdu'l-Baha. So, she went over to speak to the children.
She told the boys who 'Abdu'l-Baha was. She said that He was a very Holy Man. He had spent many years in prison and had suffered very much, just because He told the Truth and loved all men. Now He was going to a meeting to tell poor people about Baha'u'llah.
The boys were sorry for what they had done. "Can't we go to the meeting, too?" they asked.
"No," Mrs. Kinney said that was impossible. But, since 'Abdu'l-Baha was staying at her house, they could come here on Sunday to meet Him. She gave the boys her address, but she didn't really think that they would come.
When Sunday came, the children arrived at Mrs. Kinney's house dressed up in their very best clothes. She was very surprised to see them. But, she was very happy that they had come to meet ‘Abdu'l-Baha.
