Trying to figure out name of old kids book of short stories

[maniacalpha1-1]

Had this book at least 20 years ago. It had a bunch of kids stories in it, two that I remember was one was about being enslaved by aliens whose ships were damaged by light and flashlights were outlawed, and another where it rained diamonds, there was a part where a character got a diamond stuck in his flesh, etc...

Silly I know, been trying to find that book online and can't, anyone know it?

Reminds me of the Rhombulans story in the last chapter in the awesome Nintendo DS game, Elite Beat Agents. I don't need much of an excuse to bring it up!

Instead of light or water, their weakness was music, thus, they outlawed it when they conquered the planet.

You know, there is also a chapter where an oilman is raining jewels and another where a treasure hunter does something similar. I wonder if it was inspired by that book?

I figured I would bump this in case anyone knows what I'm talking about. I still haven't found the book although I did find another forum where someone asked and no one knew there either.
