King Darius liked Daniel, but the presidents and princes
hated him. They wanted to kill Daniel, but they couldn’t find anything wrong
with him.
The presidents and
princes had an idea and brought a decree to the king. It said everyone should
worship the king for thirty days. If they didn’t, they would be thrown into the
lion’s den. The king signed the decree.
Daniel still prayed to
his God so the presidents and princes brought him to the king. The king was sad,
but he had to follow the law.
Daniel was thrown into
the lions den. King Darius hoped he would survive. The next morning the king
rushed to the den. He found Daniel alive. Daniel exclaimed “I am alive because
my God protected me.” ⊙U⊙
