Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-16

The Camel Caravan
Yousif spent three days in the well, He heard
nothing except the howling of the wolves that
walked about the desert.
Suddenly, he heard strange voices. He listened
carefully to the voices. He said to himself.
"Yes, it's a trade caravan." He knew that from
the footfall of the carnels and the voices of the
men.
The caravan stopped by the well. The
merchants sent their water-drawer to get them
some water from the well.
The water-drawer threw his bucket into the
well. Yousif was waiting for this moment.
When he saw the rope of the bucket, he was
full of happiness. He thought that the rope
would save him from the well. So he caught it
strongly. Allah did not forget his servant, so
He saved him from that dark well.
Yousif came out of the well as the pearl came
out of the shell. He lighted the place when he
made his way through the dark.
The water-drawer was not afraid when he saw
Yousif. So he shouted: "Good news! This is a
youth!"
The merchants thought that Yousif was a
slave. They thought that he escaped and fell
into the well.
For this reason, they did not ask him about
his tribe, his origin, and his story. They
numbered him as one of the goods they would
sell in Egypt.
