Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-21

The King's Dream
One night the King went to his bed to sleep.
He had a wonderful dream.
He saw seven beautiful fat cows grazing in the
green fields on the bank of the rivrr. Suddenly,
seven ugly thin cows appeared. They walked
toward the seven fat ones and ate them all.
The King awoke with fright from the dream.
Then he slept and dreamt again.
He saw seven green stalks full of grain. Beside
them, he saw seven dry empty stalks. The
seven dry empty stalks swallowed up the
seven green stalks.
Again the king awoke from his dream. The
dream made him worried. Thus, he sent for his
statesmen. Then he held a meeting with them.
The King talked about his wonderful dream.
He talked about the seven ugly thin cows that
appeared from beyond the bank of the river
and ate the seven beautiful fat ones.
He also talked about the seven dry empty
stalks that swallowed up the seven green
oncs.
The statesmen thought of the King's dream.
However, all their efforts were useless.
The cupbearer was filling the cups with wine.
The states men said to the King: "They're
confusing dreams. They're mere meaningless
dreams."
When they saw that the King was grieved, they
said to him: "We don't know the interpretation
of dreams."
Suddenly, at those moments, while the King
was looking for an interpretation to his dream,
the cupbearer said: "I'll inform you of its
interpretation, so let me go."
The King wondered at the cupbearer. However,
the cupbearer told the King of what had
happened to him some years ago. He said to
him: "My friend, the cook, and I were in prison.
We had wonderful dreams. We related our
dreams to Yousif. Yousif interpreted them, and
his interpretation was true."
Thus, the King sent the cupbearer to Yousif.
