سَعِيد الْوَهَيْبِيّ مِنْ عُمَانَ، وَهُوَ يُحِبُّ الْأَشْيَاءَ الْقَدِيمَةَ. بَدَأَتْ هِوَايَتُهُ وَهُوَ طِفْلٌ صَغِيرٌ. يَجْمَعُ سَعِيدٌ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ السَّبْعِينِيَّاتِ وَالثَّمَانِينِيَّاتِ وَالتِّسْعِينِيَّاتِ. عِنْدَهُ كُتُبٌ مَدْرَسِيَّةٌ قَدِيمَةٌ، وَأَلْعَابٌ لِلْأَطْفَالِ. وَعِنْدَهُ أَجْهِزَةُ تِلْفَازٍ، وَسَاعَاتُ حَائِطٍ، وَصُحُونٌ وَفَنَاجِينُ قَدِيمَةٌ. وَعِنْدَهُ طَوَابِعُ، وَنُقُودٌ قَدِيمَةٌ، وَعُلَبُ عُطُورٍ. بَعْضُ الْأَشْيَاءِ هَدَايَا مِنْ أَصْدِقَائِهِ وَمُتَابِعِيهِ عَلَى الْإِنْتَرْنِتْ. وَسَعِيدٌ مُصَوِّرٌ أَيْضًا، وَهُوَ يَسْتَعْمِلُ الْأَشْيَاءَ الْقَدِيمَةَ فِي صُوَرِهِ. يَقُولُ: مَاضِي عُمَانَ جَمِيلٌ، وَفِيهِ ذِكْرَيَاتٌ سَعِيدَةٌ. سَمِعَ سَعِيدٌ قِصَصَ تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامِ مِنْ عَائِلَتِهِ. وَفِي صُوَرِهِ، يُعِيدُ أَيَّامَ الْعِيدِ، وَرُجُوعَ الطُّلَّابِ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ. وَيُصَوِّرُ مَلَابِسَ الْمَدْرَسَةِ الْقَدِيمَةَ وَأَلْوَانَهَا. وَصَوَّرَ لُعْبَةً قَدِيمَةً: يَرْمِي الشَّبَابُ كُرَةً صَغِيرَةً عَلَى عُلَبٍ. وَصَوَّرَ «الْقَرَنْقَشُوهْ» فِي رَمَضَانَ، وَفِيهَا يَأْخُذُ الْأَطْفَالُ الْحَلْوَى وَالْهَدَايَا. عِنْدَ سَعِيدٍ بَيْتَانِ فِي الْبَاطِنَةِ وَمَسْقَطَ، يُصَوِّرُ فِيهِمَا. وَأَصْدِقَاؤُهُ يُسَاعِدُونَهُ فِي عَمَلِهِ. وَيُرِيدُ سَعِيدٌ مُتْحَفًا لِأَشْيَائِهِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، يَزُورُهُ النَّاسُ.
