Once upon a time, in a vast kingdom ruled by King Darius, there lived a wise and faithful man named Daniel. Recognising Daniel's exceptional spirit and trustworthiness, the king appointed him as the chief administrator over the entire kingdom. This honour sparked jealousy among the other administrators and governors, who plotted to bring Daniel down. Unable to find any fault in his conduct, they decided to target his faith. They convinced the king to issue a decree stating that for thirty days, no one could pray to any god or human except the king. Anyone who defied this order would be thrown into the lions' den. Unfased by the decree, Daniel continued his daily prayers to his God. His enemies quickly reported this to the king, who, despite his fondness for Daniel, was bound by the irrevocable law. Reluctantly, King Darius ordered Daniel to be cast into the lions' den, expressing hope that Daniel's God would save him. That night, the king could neither eat nor sleep, tormented by worry for Daniel. At dawn, he rushed to the den and called out, "Daniel, has your God saved you?" To his immense relief, Daniel replied, "My God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths. I am unharmed because I am innocent before Him and you." Overjoyed, the king ordered Daniel's release and had his accusers thrown into the lions' den, where they met a swift and terrible fate. In gratitude, King Darius declared throughout the kingdom that everyone should honour the God of Daniel, for He is the living God who endures forever, performing wonders and delivering His faithful. And so, Daniel prospered under the reign of Darius and Cyrus, living a life of faith and integrity.
