مازن بن غضوبة صحابي جليل هو أول من أسلم من أهل عمان في السنة السادسة للهجرة. روي مازن بن غضوبة عن نفسه: كنت أسدن صنما يقال له باحر بسمائل قرية بعمان، فعترنا ذات يوم عنده عتيرة وهي الذبيحة، فسمعت صوتًا من الصنم يقول: يا مـازن اسمع تسر ظهر خير وبطن شر بعـث نبي من مضر بـدين الله الأكبـر فدع نحيتا من حجر تسلم من حر سقـر قال: ففزعت لذلك، وقلت: إن هذا لعجب، ثم عترت بعد أيام عتيرة، فسمعت صوتًا من الصنم يقول: أقبل إلي أقبل تسمع ما لا تجهل هذا نبي مرسل جاء بحق منزل فآمن به كي تعدل عن حر نار تشتعل وقودها بالجندل فقلت: إن هذا لعجب، وإنه لخير يراد بنا، فبينا نحن كذلك إذ قدم رجل من الحجاز، فقلنا: ما الخبر وراءك؟ قال: ظهر رجل يقال له أحمد، يقول لمن أتاه: «أجيبوا داعي الله» قلت: هذا نبأ ما قد سمعت، فسرت إلى الصنم فكسرته أجذاذا، وركبت راحلتي فقدمت على رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، فشرح لي الإسلام فأسلمت.

Page 1Once upon a time, in a 1975 gray Ford car, lived Z'Rica Chanell. She was a 10-year-old African American girl with dark skin, big brown eyes and two afro puff ponytails tied with cotton candy looking ribbons. Z'Rica lived with her mom, little sister, and baby sister. They didn't have a home, so the car was their house. The back seat was Z'Rica's bedroom, and she kept her few belongings in a suitcase. At night, she'd sleep under a blanket, dreaming of a different life. Illustration: Z'Rica and her family in their car. Z'Rica is in the backseat, surrounded by her few belongings. Page 2Every day, Z'Rica would go to the library after school. She loved to read and learn new things. The library smelled like old books and felt quiet and peaceful. Z'Rica would get lost in the stories, imagining a different life for herself. She'd read about kids with big houses and loving families, wondering what that would be like. Illustration: Z'Rica walking to the library, carrying her backpack and looking down at a book. Page 3One day, while she was walking to the library, she found a old book and a wooden comb on the ground near the library. The comb was special - it had African patterns carved into it. She picked them up, feeling a strange connection to the comb. She decided to take them home, wondering where they came from. Maybe they belonged to someone important. Illustration: Z'Rica finding the book and comb on the ground. She's bending down, picking them up. Page 4That night, while she was reading the book, the wooden comb started talking to her hair! "Z'Rica, you have a special mission," it said in a low, rumbling voice. Z'Rica was surprised, but also excited. Her hair started talking back to the comb! "What mission?" it asked, looking at the comb. Illustration: The comb talking to Z'Rica's hair. Z'Rica is sitting on her car bed, looking shocked but excited.

The Talking Toy In the small, snowy town of Everpine, Meghan and her friends—Lila, Sam, and Benny—were playing near the park when Meghan spotted something under a bench. It was a small, colorful toy, with red and green stripes and a button in the center. When Meghan pressed it, a soft jingle played, followed by a faint voice: “Help…find…” “Open it!” Sam urged. Meghan shook her head. “No. It’s not ours. Someone’s probably really sad without it.” Her friends groaned, but Meghan was determined. “We’ll find the owner and return it before Christmas,” she declared. The Search Back home, Meghan and her friends made posters that read “FOUND TOY” with a drawing of the object and her number. They wandered the snowy streets, putting up posters and asking neighbors, shopkeepers, and passersby. “Anyone lose a toy?” Benny would ask, holding it up. No one recognized it. By the fourth day, hope dwindled, but Meghan refused to give up. The Grumpy Shopkeeper Outside Suthie’s General Store, the kids hesitated. Mr. Suthie had a reputation for being mean. “We shouldn’t go here,” Sam whispered. “Every place counts,” Meghan said, her voice firm. When Meghan approached the shop’s bulletin board, the door creaked open, and Mr. Suthie appeared. “What are you kids doing?” he barked. Meghan explained nervously. Mr. Suthie frowned but surprised them by saying, “Put it up. Make it neat.” “You’re doing a good thing,” he added, his voice softening. “People don’t care about small things anymore.” The kids were speechless but thanked him before moving on. Finding Ethan Days later, outside the town’s church, they saw a boy staring at the Christmas rehearsal through frosty glass. Meghan approached. “Are you okay?” The boy, Ethan, nodded hesitantly. “I… lost something important.” Meghan held up the toy. “Is this it?” Ethan’s eyes lit up. “It’s mine! My sister made it for me before she moved away.” Meghan pressed the button: Merry Christmas, Ethan!
