The Story of Covey and I (Extended)
Storyboard Text
- You know what you must do. The longer you are gone the more mad Covey will be.
- What should I do?
- Brush the horses, will you?
- “God what shall I do?” While I was alone in the woods, God answered me through my friend Sandy Jenkins, who was a fellow slave who I confided in.
- Before Sandy sent me on my way, he gave me a gift. A “magic” root he said would protect me from all whips in the hands of those who want to harm me. While I was doubtful in the root’s effectiveness, to my surprise, upon my return to Covey’s plantation he kindly regarded me and bade me to feed the horses.

- While I was feeling good about my encounter with Covey, it was premature. He was secretly waiting for me in the horse’s stables. He immediately lunged for me. I quickly evaded him and hit him in the nose. He recovered fast however, and tackled me to the ground, “You shall never be free” he rasped. “Maybe so, then I will die trying.” I replied. I delivered him the final blow to his head and he went out cold.
- I had at last triumphed and defeated him. I felt like Abe standing tall over him. For the rest of the days working for him, he never lay a finger on me again, a little out of fear, and a lot out of respect.
