Explanation:

• O. Henry's short story "The Cop and The Anthem" is about a homeless man named Soapy who realises one cold night on his park bench that he has to try everything he can to get into prison for three months in order to survive the winter.
• Soapy was a homeless and unemployed man. He needed a comfortable place to stay for three months during the upcoming winter. He could get food and shelter at the homes of people he knew, but he didn't want to answer their strange questions and lose his freedom.
• Soapy's first plan was to go to a well-known restaurant in the city. He would eat expensive foods and refuse to pay for them. However, as soon as Soapy stepped inside the restaurant, the head waiter noticed his broken shoes and ripped clothes and quickly turned him away.

Thus this is the answer.
