"Oh, get out!" said the slaveowner. "You know that's not true." "Tis too true," said Jim, as calm as he could, "He speak to me and play and sing for me nearly every day now."

The slaveowner had to laugh. "Well, then, Jim," he said, "if it's true, I'll give you your freedom. But if it's not true, I'm going to give you the worst whippin you ever had in your life."
