The Pharaoh's chief baker made him angry, so Pharaoh put him in prison. Joseph (Jacob's son) was put in charge of him. The baker had a dream that he told to Joseph because he heard the butler tell Joseph about a dream that he had the same night, and Joseph told the butler good things about his dream. The baker dreamt that he had 3 white baskets on his head. In the top basket were baked foods, and birds ate them out of the basket. Joseph told the baker exactly what the dream meant and it really happened next. The 3 baskets were 3 days, and in 3 days, the Pharaoh would hang the baker on a tree and the birds would eat the flesh off of him.
