was such a good prisoner that the
jailor began to Wander why he 'was

Now as Joseph was willing to do the

'One day there was a plot discover-

-was going to p'ois'on the Pharoah.
And they suspected that there were
Only two men who could do ,Ithat very

to the prison where Joseph' was• The
two men were the ,head cook and the
gupbearer. •Pharoah's ,o,r'd,ers were
that they should be put in 'the dun-

Joseph did ale Pharoah ordered. Two

them,. (But What ',could he do?
One morning after both -of these
seen had a d're'aam,. Joseph noticed
their sad faces. Joseph laid :their

of them could -Understand what either
of the dreams meant, and they could
not go to anybody else to find . out .
'what the dr'earms could mean, since
they were (b'o'th in° prison..
Joseph sat down beside the men
and said, "Do not i'nterpr'etations be-

perhaps. the interpre'tat'ion may be
