Prince for a Day

This time, Macky sets out to rescue the real Daniel, but his new plan is no less dangerous than his earlier plan. He’s going disguise himself as a young Roman noble and brazenly go right into the Roman camp. Isaac uses the story of Elymas, to underscore the danger of trying to be something you’re not, but Macky won’t give up, and soon, both he and Isaac are in disguise inside the Roman camp, sitting down for a huge banquet – catered by Toadie and Brutacus. At this point, Macky is moved to contrast the Romans’ over-abundance and lack of gratitude with his own people’s tribulations, as mentioned in the story of the manna in the desert. The banquet comes to sudden end when Toadie discovers Macky is not all that he seems, and he and Isaac must scramble to get Daniel out of the Roman camp, while also saving their own skins.
