1 Would you like to spend

a night in a den full of
hungry lions? This story
is about a man in the
Bible who was given a
choice. Either stop
praying to God or be fed
to the lions.

2 Daniel loved God with all

his heart. He prayed to
God lots of times every
day. Daniel did what was
good and right. He
worked for the King of
Babylon.

3 The King saw that Daniel

worked hard and always
did what was good and
right. The King made
Daniel the boss. But the
King’s other helpers
wanted to be boss
instead.
4 The King’s other helpers
got angry. They tricked
the King into making a
rule. Anyone who prayed
to God would be thrown
in the lions’ den!

5 Daniel heard about the

King’s rule. ‘I love God
and I will still pray,’ said
Daniel. The King’s
helpers looked in the
window. They saw
Daniel pray and told the
King.

6 Daniel had broken the

King’s rules. The King
was very sad. He knew
he had been tricked.
‘Daniel’s God will look
after him,’ said the King.

7 Daniel was thrown into

the lions’ den. He was
not afraid. He just
prayed to God. The King
could not sleep. He was
so sad. In the morning
he looked in the lions’
den.

8 The King saw that Daniel

was safe! God’s angel
had shut the lions’
mouths. The King then
made a new rule.
Everyone must love God
and pray only to Him.
