The thin cows ate up the fat ones,
I also dreamed that I saw seven heads of grain which were full and ripe, growing on one stalk.

They will not suffer when times are bad; they will have enough in time of famine.
Everywhere in the country people snatch and eat any bit of food they can find, but their hunger is never satisfied. They even eat their own children!
