a because he is homeless.b because he wants to change his life.c because he wants to go to prison.d because he has problems with them.e because he gets cold in New York.
Soapy hasnt got a home and lives on the streets of New York. He likes the sun and trees and doesnt like houses or jobs. For nine months of the year, Soapy is a happy man. Then the fi rst week of December comes and it gets very cold. Soapy has the same plan every December to do a bad thing and go to prison for three months. First, Soapy visits an expensive restaurant and wants to have a big lunch and then say Sorry, I havent got any money. But when Soapy walks into Sanborns Restaurant the waiter says, You cant come in here. Sorry. Soapy thinks of a new plan. He goes to an expensive shop and takes a bottle. He hits the window with the bottle. A policeman comes but at that moment he sees a man running away from the shop. No prison for Soapy this afternoon. That evening, Soapy goes to a street with a lot of theatres. Rich men and women in expensive clothes are going into the theatres. Soapy starts to sing and dance and talk to the people. There is a policeman but he says to the people: Hes a student from a theatre school. Dont worry about him. Soapy is angry and unhappy. How can he get into prison for the winter? He sees a man in an offi ce and goes in and takes his pen.
The man goes after him. Stop! Thats my pen. Call the police then, says Soapy. But the man doesnt call the police because he has problems with them. Okay, maybe it is your pen, he says to Soapy. Soapy sits down and makes a new plan. Maybe he can get a job and some money. Then he can get an apartment and some good clothes. Maybe he is too old for the street. Tomorrow he decides to fi nd a job. Then Soapy hears a person next to him. Excuse me, a policeman says. What are you doing here? Whats your address? Where do you work? I havent got a home but I want to get a job tomorrow, says Soapy. No address. Come with me. Three months in prison for you , the policeman says.
