Where Is The Bel And The Dragon Story?

So here's one for the masses.

Anyone know anything about the book Bel and the Dragon. I just noticed that a Catholic Bible a friend gave me has it. But none of my other Catholic Bibles do. The stories seem a little odd and well I was just wondering if someone can shed some insight into that.

KK,

If you look in your Catholic Bible, go to the last chapter of Daniel. In my Bible this story is the the fourteenth chapter of Daniel. I think some scholars would label it as a different book because it is a folk tale. It is a satire in some sense on the crudities of Idolatry.
