The famine in Canaan got worse. <br />Jacob said, 'There's no corn with us. <br />So, go to Egypt and buy food.' <br />Judah replied, 'Our time's not good.' <br /> <br />'With us if you send Benjamin, <br />We'll go there to buy some corn. <br />That man will never allow us <br />Inside Egypt in his absence.' <br /> <br />But Jacob said, 'Why did you tell, <br />You had another brother, well? ' <br />They answered, “We knew never, <br />He wanted Benjamin, our brother.' <br /> <br />Jacob said, 'If that’s how it should be, <br />Then take resin, nuts, almonds, honey, <br />And spices, for the Governor <br />While going there for his favor. <br /> <br />'Also, you must give him back, <br />Money you found in the sack. <br />Twice the money you take; <br />May be, it was a mistake.' <br /> <br />'Take your brother Benjamin. <br />Better you all quickly return. <br />May God cause that man <br />To have pity on my children.' <br /> <br />With Benjamin, they all went. <br />They gave Joseph rich presents, <br />He asked them about their father. <br />He arranged for them a dinner. <br /> <br />When he saw his brother Benjamin <br />He was about to break down. <br />So, to his room he hurried. <br />There non-stop, he cried. <br /> <br />Controlling himself, he came out. <br />And with them for dinner, he sat. <br />Then, food was served to them. <br />They ate together after a long time!<br /><br />Simple Simon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a42-joseph-s-brothers-return-to-egypt/
