- Mr. Covey's Farm
- It was January 1st, 1833, a slave named Frederick Douglass has been trasnported to a plantation, belonging to a white man named Covey.
- Mr Covey's farm
- Covey whips the poor young man with his long and agonizing whip. Everyday Covey would come to Douglass while he was working and start lashing him with the tool.
- Get to work!
- Douglass needed to escape the whipping. The dancing of the trees in the wind seemed like a safe haven in contrast to the painful crackles Douglass recieves on a daily basis.
- Crunch, crunch, crunch, as Douglass was running through the woods, he came across a friend of his named Mr. Sandy, who was on his way to meet with his free wife. He offers for Douglass to tag along
- Sandy and Douglass discussed his situation. The wise owl then gave him some advice, "Come with me into the woods. We will find a root, you must always carry it on your right side. In this way you will never be whipped by a white man again."
- When Douglass came back to the plantation, he found that his root did not work. Covey still kept on whipping Douglass.
