Apocrypha

How did the king respond to Daniel?

The king said, “Do you not see how much he eats and drinks every day?” At this Daniel laughed, and said, “Do not be deceived, O king, for this thing is clay inside and bronze outside, and it never ate or drank anything.” (NRSV, Bel and the Dragon, Verses 6, 7)
