Susanna

A short courtroom story set in Babylon. Two elders who serve as judges corner a married woman named Susanna alone in her garden and demand she lie with them; when she refuses, they testify that they caught her with a young man, and the assembly sentences her to death. A boy named Daniel stops the execution and questions the two elders separately about what tree they saw it under.
