When Daniel heard the story, he went to King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel asked the king to give him some more time. Then he would tell the king about the dream and what it meant.
When a king is angry, he can kill someone. And a wise person will try to keep the king happy.
Daniel said to Arioch, “Why did the king order such a severe punishment?”
So Daniel went to his house. He explained the whole story to his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
