prophet Joseph
After being imprisoned for a few years, God granted Joseph with the ability to interpret dreams, a power in which he became popular amongst the prisoners. In one occasion two less fortunate royal servants were thrown into the prison prior to Joseph's imprisonment. They were haunted by two ambiguous dreams and remained unaware of the dream due to the inability to interpret it until they heard about Joseph's popularity among the citizens. They went to Joseph to seek for his opinion and ask him if he could help them in solving the problems. Joseph asked them about the dreams they had, and one of them described that he saw himself in the vineyard picking grapes and pressing them into wine.
The other said to have seen himself holding a basket of bread on his head but then a bird came and took it from him. Joseph smiled to the first man and said that he will be released from the prison and he would serve the King but he warned the other one that he will soon die. One day, under the order of the King of Egypt, soldiers came to take the two men away, the King said one would be forgiven, the other will be executed.
