Answer:

Being caught by cops and sent to prison would be a gift to Soapy.

Explanation:

The above extract is taken form the story "The Cop and the Anthem" by O. Henry.

  • Soapy was a poor, jobless person.
  • He had no money to buy food  and to rent a room for living.
  • Without money, he was struggling to meet both ends.
  • So he thought that prison would be the only place where he could have shelter and meals twice a day without any cost.
  • He decided to make some nuisances in a restaurant so that a cop would come and arrest him.
  • He desperately wanted to go to prison to get shelter and food.

Thus, being arrested by cops and sent to prison would be gift to Soapy.
