1 Two years later the king of Egypt dreamed he was standing beside the Nile River.
2 Suddenly, seven fat, healthy cows came up from the river and started eating grass along the bank.
3 Then seven ugly, skinny cows came up out of the river and
4 ate the fat, healthy cows. When this happened, the king woke up.
5 The king went back to sleep and had another dream. This time seven full heads of grain were growing on a single stalk.
6 Later, seven other heads of grain appeared, but they were thin and scorched by a wind from the desert.
