Daniel and the Lion's Den (डैनियल और शेर का छाला)

Once upon a time, in the land of Babylon, there lived a kind and wise man named Daniel. He loved to listen to others and always helped people in need. जब दिन दूप ढलता था तो उसके पास अधिकारी आते और बोलते, 'अरे डैनियल, तू अच्छी तरह से सुनता है, इसलिए हमें फैसला तुम पर छोड़ना चाहिए!'

Wise man with a long grey beard, wearing a colorful robe, dressed in a colorful robe, stands among the curious crowd.

The king of Babylon, King Darius, also admired Daniel's wisdom. But some jealous officials became envious and wanted to get rid of Daniel. पापी अधिकारी बोलते हैं, 'हम डैनियल को चाले फेंककर उसे शेर के छाले में डाल देंगे। उसे यहां से फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि वह क्या सुनेगा।'

The jealous officials conspire while hiding behind tall palm trees.

The officials tricked King Darius into making a foolish law that no one is allowed to pray to anyone except the king for 30 days. But Daniel loved to pray to God every day. He continued to pray, knowing the risks involved. जब अधिकारी उसे देखते हैं कि डैनियल उस चाले में जा चुका है तो वे खुश होते हैं।

Wise man with a long grey beard, wearing a colorful robe, with folded hands, prays under a starry sky while the jealous officials watch.

When King Darius found out that Daniel had disobeyed the law, he was sad. He tried to save Daniel, but the foolish law could not be changed. King Darius ordered that Daniel be thrown into the lion's den. डैनियल की डरी हुई आंखों में आंसू भर जाते हैं, क्योंकि उसे यकीन है कि यह शेर उसे खा जाएंगे।

Lions with golden fur and sharp teeth surround the frightened Wise man with a long grey beard, wearing a colorful robe in the den.

All night, King Darius couldn't sleep. As soon as the sun rose, he ran to the lion's den to see if Daniel was safe. To everyone's surprise, Daniel was unharmed! डैनियल बोलता है, 'भगवान ने अपने पंखों से मुझे बचा लिया, मैं आप सभी को यह बताने के लिए बहुत खुश हूँ।'

Wise man with a long grey beard, wearing a colorful robe, with joy in his eyes, speaks to a crowd of amazed onlookers.
