Ben's big promotion

Now Ben and Carol Ann dey been workin dis way bout tree years when young massa Walker say Ben how you like to woork in my lumber mill? Ben say he sure like dat. So Ben start doing jus dat when he be 13. Him and Carol Ann done saved tree whole dollars and now dey gonna be able to save more. Massa Walker gonna pay him 5 cent a week! Why fo a boy his age dat mighty good here in Tucky. Ya see what folks don't know bout Tucky is it be a strange place for black folk. Any where else in this whole big country a black man know where he stands wit folk. Ifn he down south he know jus how to act to stay alive, ifn he be North he know he got a little more freedom and people aint gonna shoot him where he stand fo de color of his skin, but here in Tucky you jus don't never know ever time you come up on a white man you wonder is he friend or foe? Choose wrong and you could end up dead or wishin you wuz.
Now Ben he a smart boy, he dun told his old pa he a makin 3 cent a week, now him an Carol dey be savin 3 cent a week to start that there life togeder. Won't be long now dey be married and on dey own.
