Remember: The Bible tells how Joseph went from prison to governor, and chose to forgive his brothers; he said God turned a hard story to good.

Read and answer

Read the story first, then answer.

From prison to governorJoseph was far from home in Egypt, because his brothers had sold him. Someone told a lie about him, and he was sent to prison. Later, Pharaoh dreamed of seven fat cows that were eaten by seven thin cows. Joseph said seven good years were coming, then seven hungry years. He told Egypt to store grain, and Pharaoh made him governor. When the hungry years came, ten of his brothers came for grain and bowed low. Joseph knew them, but they did not know him. Later, Judah offered to stay in Benjamin's place. Joseph could not hold back any longer. He told them he was Joseph, and he forgave them.
