Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

work anymore. He lived and a field and could not see very far.

One day that mule fell in the well. The farmer tried to think of a way to get the mule out
of the well, but he could not. The farmer decided to bury that mule in the well. He asked his
friends and neighbors to help him pour sand into the well. At first that mule was angry. But
then he shook off sand from his back and stepped up and up on the layers of sand.

After a long time, he reached the top of the well and walked out of the well. The friends
