What is shown in this coloring page?

Daniel was a faithful servant of God who lived in a foreign kingdom. Because of his excellent spirit and devotion, he was promoted to a high position, making other officials jealous. They tricked the king into passing a law that anyone praying to any god other than the king would be thrown into a lions' den. Daniel continued to pray to God openly. As punishment, he was cast into the den. But God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths! The next morning, Daniel was found unharmed. The amazed king then declared the power of Daniel's God. This story, found in Daniel chapter 6, shows that God protects those who are faithful to Him.
