Surah Yusuf (The Qur'an)
Joseph tells his father a dream of eleven stars bowing to him, and his brothers put him down a well, where a passing caravan takes him for Egypt. Sold into a great house, accused falsely and imprisoned, he reads the dreams of his fellow prisoners and at length those of the king. The most beautiful of stories, given whole in a single sura.
