Talks about his master Covey
He got sold to him for a year
Talks about how he went through hell the whole 6 months with Mr. Covey
One day when he is sick and working he falls to the grouns and is told to get back up but he cant so he gets beat
He then runs away and goes to his old master to tell him what Mr. Covey is doing
Well walking home he meets a guy and they go talk to his gf
She tells him to keep a root on the rightside of his arm
He goes back Saturday morning and when he gets there Covey sees him and runs after him
He gets away and hides in the corn for a day
The next day when he is doing horse chores Covey comes up to him ready to whip him
He doesnt let him and starts to fight back
He calls to Hughes but Fred kicks him to the ground and Bill doesnt help him either
They went @ it for 2 hrs. Finally Covey gave up
He was another slave for 4 more years but was never whipped
