The First Book of Nephi: Chapter 8

After a while had passed, they'd managed to gather all kinds of seeds. And his Dad had another dream.

This time it told him that Sam and Nephi (the "good" sons) will be saved. But that the older boys need to sort their attitudes and sharpish.

There was a dreary wilderness, and a man in a white robe appeared, telling him to follow.

So Dad followed him in the gloom for many hours, before praying to God to quit making him miserable - and LO! A lovely field. With a fruit tree! A magic fruit tree with yummy, yummy (and magically white inside! They really have a thing for white.) fruit that made people happy.

He went looking for his family in this "vision" so that they could see how amazing this happy-fruit is. And there were Sam and Nephi and Mum, and they all had fruit. Hurray! But the older boys were stuck on the wrong side of the river and wouldn't cross to try the tasty fruit. (Can anyone say eeeeew-faaaa-mizzzz-um?)

So Dad held out an iron rod out across the river.

Many people tried to get to the tree, but many got lost and were lost. Other people managed to grab hold of this iron rod that Dad held out - and made it safely to the tree.

Some of these people looked around after they ate the tasty fruit, saw other people mocking them, and ran off and were lost. (You remember I mentioned euphamisms? Yeah...) Some of the people ate the fruit, went into a big building and then stood ridiculing the others that were going to eat the fruit.

Nephi says he'll trim the story short - suffice to say that many managed to get to the fruit, despite the darkness and being ridiculed. The ones that didn't make it clearly didn't listen to Dad.

The bad sons didn't get to enjoy the tasty fruit in this dream, so they should really get their acts together already, or they're going to miss out for real. He told them to keep the commandments of God, and then quit talking to them.
