Daniel in the lions’ den

By Jenny Sawyer and Sylvie Updegraff,—USA

The king's palace sparkled in the late afternoon sunlight. Inside it was busy, with people rushing from place to place to do what the king commanded.

One of these people was a man named Daniel. Darius, the king, gave Daniel a lot of power in his kingdom. He trusted Daniel. Daniel was not only a good worker, but he was also a good friend.

Daniel was different from most of the men who worked for the king. He didn't really care about all the power he had. What he cared about most was God. In fact, Daniel loved God so much that he prayed three times a day, to thank God for all the good things he had been given.
