The story of Daniel in the lions' den is a well - known Bible story. Daniel was a man of God who was thrown into a den of lions because he refused to stop praying to his God. But God protected him, and the lions did not harm him. The 'flannel board story' version might be a way to present this story in a more visual and engaging way for children or in a religious teaching setting.
Daniel was a man who was very faithful to his God. He was living in a foreign land under a different king. But he didn't abandon his religious practices even when it was against the king's orders.
