Pharaoh of famine

5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk.

8 In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
