“And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.”
But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up. The detail that the fat cows left no trace in the ugly cows — they looked just as ugly as before — is Pharaoh's observation of the dream's most theologically significant element: the scarcity years will consume the abundance years completely. The application: the abundance that leaves no trace in the scarcity is the warning of a famine that will be severe, not mild.
