Why are your faces so sad today?

Genesis 40:1-23
Joseph came to the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt,  the next morning, he saw that they were dejected(垂頭喪氣). So he asked them, "Why are your faces so sad today?"
"Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams."
Joseph said to them the interpretation of their dreams. Three days later, things happened to them, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation. The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
Why?
Great significance was given to dreams in Egypt at this time. Professional interpreters had manuals that listed dreams and their meanings. But Pharaoh's wine steward ( the 'butler' of some versions) and his baker had no one to turn to. 'Interpretation belongs to God' say Joseph - and God makes the meaning clear.
Take care one around me and ask him why are your faces so sad today? May be I can do some favor to him and let his life changed for Jesus Christ.
How?
Care what I saw among people near me and with compassion.
