Some smart young men from God's people were taken to Babylon to work for the king. One was named Daniel.
The king wanted them to eat his fancy food. But Daniel decided he would only eat what God said was okay.
Daniel asked, “Let us eat vegetables and water for ten days.” After ten days, they were healthier than everyone else! God made them wise too.
