01x26 - Daniel & the Lions Den

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

long long ago in a faraway land

there lived a young man named daniel

when daniel was a boy

he was taken from his home in judah to

live in a city called babylon

where he went to school in the palace of

the babylonian king

daniel missed his home very much

and every day he prayed that god would

take care of his family and his friends

and look after him too

god heard his prayers

and helped daniel become wise as he grew

older

till everyone in the palace knew of his

wisdom

then one night

while babylon was sleeping

the king

had a dream

[Music]

i am king darius

i've had a dream

and now i'm feeling rather frightened

and i wish someone would tell me what it

means

yes that is true

[Music]

but there

is his name

so before you take another sleeping

[Music]

my name is daniel

that much is true

but it is god who gives me wisdom answer

me he will explain your dreams to you

his name is daniel

that's what he said

when he talks about this

[Music]

well daniel was able to explain the

king's dream and this made the king very

have happy me

your job i will expand

from now on i want you to sit right

beside me

[Music]

[Applause]

this was very good news for daniel but

very bad news for the wise men

you see each one of them wanted to be

second in command

now that daniel got the job the wise men

would have to do whatever he said

this made the wise men very unhappy and

they immediately started thinking of

ways to get rid of daniel

[Music]

oh no what we gonna do the king likes

daniel more than me and you

oh no what we gonna do we gotta get him

out of here

oh no what we gonna do the king likes

daniel more

[Music]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Music]

oh we could give him jelly doughnuts

take him all away or we could fill his

ears with cheese ba*ls and his nostrils

with surfing he could use them as a flip

store a table to place grabble on then

tie him up and beat him up and throw him

out of babylon

i like it it's sneaky and it just might

work

we could use them as a footstool or a

table tip my scrabble on then tie them

up and beat them up and throw them out

of babylon

[Music]

the very next morning the wise men

appeared before king darius to try to

trap daniel with their scheme

you wanted to see me

we've got some news good king darius

we fear your position is precarious

there are some people here in babylon

who won't give you your due

they'd rather bow to other men can this

be so it's true

oh dear

we've brought a solution of our own

design

if you're just signed this paper on the

dotted line

it's an edict stating most concisely

what we're all to do we must bow our

heads or bend our knees before no one

but you

i see

just one more time now let's see if i've

got this straight

a lot to prove once and for all that i

am great

if i'm the king no one must doubt my

full supremacy so from this day forth my

citizens will pray to only me

is

but what if they don't

if they don't obey

any citizen

will be thrown into the lion's

den

oh yes

well i guess that would do it

all right then good work man

tata the law was passed the deed was

done

daniel's troubles had just be

gone

[Music]

everyone in babylon heard about the new

law including daniel

but daniel also knew god's law and god's

law told him that he should only pray to

god

so the next day

just like every other day

daniel prayed and thanked god for the

sunshine and for all his friends

he also thanked god for giving him the

courage to do what was right

even when he knew it could get him in

trouble

did you say trouble

so you guys are wise men

that's pretty cool have you like have

you always been wise would you you have

to go to school for that

are you serious about that thing hey i

can see my house from here

daniel because you violated section

42192r94006.1-7

b of the code of babylon forbidding

prayer to anyone but king darius

you're hereby sentenced to be consumed

[Music]

fear not

[Music]

there is one who is watching you

he listens when you pray

and though it seems this time you won't

get through

god

even though he still didn't know what to

expect

daniel felt better when he remembered

that god was taking care of him

even in the lion's den elsewhere in the

kingdom the wise men were busy

congratulating themselves for being so

clever

while a king

believing that he had lost a good friend

decided the only thing he could do was

to pray that daniel's god would protect

him

the next morning everyone ran down to

the lion's den to see what was left of

daniel

it's hopeless

no one could survive a night with those

lions hello

did you hear something

hello

daniel is that you

oh yeah i'll be right up i just have to

say goodbye to my new friend

garden now i understand

for even at the bottom of the lion's den

you were in his hand

i've got it a new law

only to daniel's god no more of this
