The story of Joseph can be found in the Bible in the book of Genesis (chapters 37 to 46), as well as in the Qu’ran, where it is the story of Yusuf al Karim (Joseph the Wise). Both stories help explain sibling rivalry (a competition between children of the same family) and what we can learn from it.

• “Dad always liked you best.” Joseph’s brothers are jealous of him. Have you ever fealt jealous of a brother or sister or friend? How does it make you feel? And when you feel confident in yourself, do you still feel jealous of others?

• Dreams are “short videos” of things that we deal with daily. Joseph’s ability to understand (interpret) dreams helped him. do you have dreams that seem to make no sense? Though they are actually random thoughts, it can be fun to discuss your dreams with friends.

• At the end of the story, Joseph has forgiven his brothers for selling him as a slave. Have you ever had to forgive someone for a bad thing they said or did to you? Was it difficult to forgive that person?
