Daniel worked for a new king named Darius. Daniel did such a good job that some men got jealous.
They tricked the king into making a law: “Pray only to the king for 30 days, or you'll be thrown to the lions!” But Daniel still prayed to God three times a day, by his open window.
Daniel was thrown into the lions' den. But God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths! In the morning, Daniel was safe. The king said, “Daniel's God is the living God!”
