Daniel acted and helped the king. He was the wisest and most caring and it made the others jealous.
You are so wise Daniel, Well done.
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel. It's always Daniel!
The other King helpers tried to make Daniel look bad and stop him being King Darius'sfavourite.
What else can we do? No matter what we do he is always the Kings favourite.
The only thing we have left is his religion. Let's use that to get rid of him!
The Kings helpers told the King that he shouldn't let anybody pray to anyone else but to the King for 30 days. The King agreed.
We recommend that you issue a rule to prohibiting prayer.
That sounds fair.
Oh no, God. What shall I do?
Daniel knew it was more important to pray than any lawman could make. So Daniel continued to pray to God three times a day. But King Darius found out...
Lord God. Please protect me, I will pray everyday
King Darius didn't want to punish Daniel but his helpers reminded him that it was against the law and he had to do it.
You have no choice our King. The rules are very clear!
Oh Daniel, I cant do anything to save you what have you done?
Daniel was taken and thrown into the Lion's Den as punishment. But on the next day, he was saved by God.
