Two years after the Minister of Beverages returned to his job, Par•ohꞋ Sa-hotep-ka-Ra En-yoteph 4^th was troubled by a cryptic dream.

Canal from the Nile, near ancient Ankh-Tawi (modern Memphis, 20 km (12 mi) south of Cairo, on the west bank of the Nile)

Par•ohꞋ was standing next to a canal of the Nile River, with the pyramids in the background. 7 cows, fine-looking healthy beef, walked out of a shallow canal of the Nile and grazed on the reed-grass.

Then, look, 7 more cows walked out of the canal, scraggly-looking and scrawny beef, which stood next to the other cows on the bank of the canal. Then the scraggly-looking, scrawny beef cows ate the fine-looking, healthy beef cows.

That's when Par•ohꞋ woke up. Then he dreamed again another night:

Look, a stalk of corn produced 7 ears, healthy and good. Then look, on the same stalk, another 7 ears of corn budded that became scrawny and scorched-dried by an east wind. Then the scrawny and scorch-dried ears grew over-top the healthy good corn, forcing them to die out.

Then Par•ohꞋ woke up again. It had been a dream.

The next morning, Par•ohꞋ was despondent. So he sent out a call for all of the experts in hieroglyphics in Mi•tzᵊraꞋyim, and all of the wise men. Then Par•ohꞋ related his dream to them. But none of them could interpret the dreams for Par•ohꞋ.

Then the Minister of Beverages finally remembered Yo•seiphꞋ and recounted to Par•ohꞋ how Yo•seiphꞋ had correctly interpreted his dream and the dream of the Minister of the Palace Bakery. So Par•ohꞋ summoned Yo•seiphꞋ from the dungeon to interpret his dream. Taking only enough time to shave and change clothes to be presentable to Par•ohꞋ, Yo•seiphꞋ was brought to him with all haste.

"I dreamed and no one knows how to interpret it, Par•ohꞋ began. "I've been told that when you hear a dream you can interpret it?"

"It's beyond me," Yo•seiphꞋ answered. "Ël•oh•imꞋ will resolve Par•ohꞋ's welfare."

Then Par•ohꞋ related his two dreams, of cows and corn, anxiously awaiting Yo•seiphꞋ's interpretation.
