If we happen to laugh before de busha, he complain to de magistrate, and we get licked.

If we go to a friend's house, when we hungry, to get something to eat, and happen to get lost in de woods between, we are called runaways, and are punished severely.

Our half Friday is taken away from us; we must give that time to busha for a little salt-fish, which was always allowed us during slavery.

If we lay in bed after six o'clock, they take away our Saturday too.
