Pharoah's chief cupbearer and chief baker offended their master so he put them both in prison (where Joseph was) where they had simultaneous dreams. The cupbearer dreamt of a vine with 3 branches which produced grapes which he squeezed into Pharoah's cup and gave it to him. With God's help Joseph interpreted the dream saying that the 3 branches meant that in 3 days time Pharoah would restore him to his post of chief cupbearer. Joseph asked him to put a word in for him with Pharoah once he was released because he was in jail unjustly. The baker dreamt that he had on his head 3 baskets of bread which birds came and ate. Joseph interpreted this dream too saying that it meant that in 3 days time Pharoah would hang him and that birds would come and eat his flesh. 3 days later it was Pharoah's birthday and he held a big party where he restored the cupbearer to his role but he had the baker hanged just as Joseph's interpretations of the dreams had foretold. Sadly though the cupbearer forgot about Joseph.
