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.
