It's the Bible, the skinny cows ate the fat cows, and even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before, it is a dream that someone had (perhaps a king had it...or a prophet).
...spidergoat said:Joseph interprets the Pharaoh's dream to mean that there will be 7 good years of grain harvests, and 7 years of famine. So he recommends the Pharaoh send a representative to collect taxes in grain, so that when the famine comes, they can sell it back. Pharaoh choses Joseph for this job, and 14 years later, Joseph is on the job, selling grain to the Egyptians, who don't starve.
