GET LOST LITTLE BROTHER -By: Marilyn Lashbrook
Joseph’s father gave him a new coat.
Oooh, it was beautiful.
None of his brothers had one like it.
They felt LEFT OUT.
Joseph was HAPPY, but his brothers were MAD.
They went outside by themselves.
And they left Joseph behind.
“Go find your brothers,” Joseph’s father said one day.
So Joseph went to look for them.
Flip, flop, flippity, flop.
His sandals slapped against ground.
Joseph looked and looked.
Finally he found his brothers.
But they were still ANGRY.
They did not want to see Little Brother again.
They took away his beautiful coat and threw him into a deep, dark hole.
Down, down Joseph tumbled.
Thump, thump, bumpity, bump.
“Help! Help!” he cried.
But they would not listen.
“Let’s send him away,” his brother said.
“Then he will be gone for good.”
Crunch, crunch, crunchity, crunch.
The camels took Joseph away to Egypt.
Joseph was LONELY.
He wanted to go HOME.
But God had a special job for him.
Joseph grew bigger. And older. And stronger. And wiser.
One day, God gave Joseph a massage for the king.
“For seven years there will be lots of food.
Then for seven years there will be none.”
“What should we do?” asked the king.
“Without food we will all die !”
Joseph answered, “We must save all the food we can.
Then there will be plenty when we need it.”
The king was HAPPY.
He made Joseph his special helper.
The king gave him a new robe.
Joseph was very important now.
Everyone in Egypt had to obey him.
Joseph told the people to fill big barns with grain.
After seven years, everyone ran out of food.
But Joseph had plenty.
Hungry people with growling tummies came to Egypt.
Rumble, grumble, gurgle, grrr.
They wanted something to eat.
Even Joseph’s brothers came.
Rumble, grumble, gurgle, grrr.
They were hungry, too !
His brothers did not know who Joseph was.
He looked different now.
But Joseph knew them.
“I am Joseph !” he cried.
They were AFRAID, but Joseph hugged and kissed them all.
“Now I know why God brought me to Egypt,” he said.
“God brought me here to save my family.”
And that made Joseph.
HAPPIER THEN HE HAD EVER BEEN BEFORE. -fine-
