"Do not interpretations belong to God?"--_Gen. 40:8._
THE young son of Jacob, Joseph, had, you know, been sold by his cruel
brothers, and made a slave of; and then a wicked falsehood was told
about him, and he was put into prison. But wherever Joseph was he tried
to do his duty, and so God blessed him; and the keeper of the prison
soon found out how different he was from the others, and let him help.
I suppose he helped to carry them their food and wait upon them; and he
often could say a few kind good words to them.
One day two grand people came in as prisoners. One was the chief of
all the bakers, who made bread for king Pharaoh; and the other was
the chief of all his cup-bearers, who carried him his wine. Some
wrong thing had happened, and they were both suspected of having had
something to do with it, so they had been sent to prison.
