Sometimes I use a Catholic bible, sometimes I don’t. I really don’t see much difference between them and Protestant bibles unless I’m reading the Deuterocanonical books (which much Protestant bibles don’t include… but some do).

I noticed that some of the orthodox bibles have different books, one of the books is called, “Bel and the dragon". Where would I buy this book?

Well Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox use the complete bible. So do Episcopalians/Anglicans, in fact the DC books are a part of the Episcopal lectionary and read at Mass and the Office.
I believe that many Lutherans read the complete bible as well.

In the Catholic Bible, The Story of Susanna and The Story of Bel and the Dragon are the final two chapters of the Book of Daniel. These sections were in the Septuagint version of Daniel (the Greek translation used in the time of Jesus) but not in the Masoretic text. The stories are great.
In Susanna, a woman is falsely accused of adultery. Daniel acts as her attorney of sorts and breaks down the two false witnesses Perry Mason-style.
Both Bel and The Dragon are idols worshipped by the king of Babylon. In each story, Daniel proves to the king that the idol is not a living god, but just a creation of men. The way he does it is different in each case, and both very clever.
I have linked each story. Enjoy.
