Wahhh!!! Please don't whip me! I will work harder!
Returning to the Past
Please help me, I can work here instead. Mr. Covey makes us work very hard and whips us until we bleed.
NO WAY!!! You're way to defiant! I will never take you back! Go back to Covey!

The Miracle Root
The slaves that work on Mr. Covey’s fields are forced to work until they faint and are whipped until they bleed.
A Terrific Fight and a Terrifying Fright
I will not let you go!!! You can't whip me anymore!!!
Douglass goes back to Mr. Auld (his previous owner) and pleads for help because of Covey’s brutal ways. Mr. Auld refuses and send Douglass back to Mr. Covey,
Happiness at Last
HOORAY!!! Happiness at last!!!!
AAHHHHHH!!!! The fight was so scary and painful, I am never going to whip Douglass ever again!!!
Douglass explains his worries to another slave named Sandy Jenkins. Douglass's main complaint was about Mr. Covey whipping him. Sandy Jenkins told Douglass to carry a root near his right side and that his problem would be solved. Douglass hesitated but then obeyed. Magically, it worked!
Sandy, please help! Mr. Covey always whips me.
Don't worry! Just carry this root with you and you will never be whipped.
Once Douglass returns, Covey is raging mad and starts to fight with Douglass. Douglass fights back and wins. Afterwards, Mr. Covey gets frightened by Douglass because of how he hurt him.
OWWW!!!! Please stop!!! I will never whip you ever again!!!
Covey says that Douglass would have only received half as many whips if he didn't fight with Covey, but out of fear, Covey never whips Douglass ever again! Hooray!!! Happiness at last!!!
