Hello my name is tubby I live here in this wonderful library
and I love to eat books. I live here with my friends Gumbo and Freckles
Gumbo, Freckles come out, come out wherever you are
Over there, on that great book is Grand Old Holy
She is really old and wise and tells us wonderful stories, when she is awake that is
Oh and we love to sing
Dear God, you three have woken me up again. please do not sleep Holy
We really want to hear a story from the Bible again, will you please tell us one
Okay, but I will ask a question at the end so listen carefully
We promise we will. A young man Joseph was sent to prison by the king of Egypt
for no fault of his own. He lived in the prison for two years
One day the King had a very strange dream, He dreamt that seven fat cows came out of a river
and ate all the grass in the fields. Then seven thin cows came out of the same river and ate the seven fat cows
but stayed as thin as before. The king was confused he called all his clever ministers
but none of them could understand what the Kings dream meant
The King's Butler who had spent some time in prison with Joseph said
your highness when I was in prison there was a man who understood my dream
it turned out what he told me was true. He is very wise.
maybe you should ask him. So Joseph was called
After the King had told him his dream, Joseph said your dream is a path to future
The seven fat cows you saw are seven coming years when you will have a good harvest
However the seven years after that will be dry and there will be no rain
So I think you should start storing the extra harvest for the next seven years
without rain. The king was very impressed
He said you are trully wise. Joseph said my God speaks through me
I only say what he tells me
The king was so happy with Joseph that he made him the highest officer
Only second to the king himself
So Joseph was very rich he wore expensive clothes moved around in chariots
and people bowed to him in respect wherever he went.
now I will ask you the question I hope you were listening carefully
How many years did Joseph live in the prison?
I can answer this, Joseph lived in the prison for two years
right, yes that is right. now I need to sleep, bye for now
