1、1续写警察与赞美诗In the prison, Soapy was not worried about his three meals a day any longer. However, he still regretted being caught by the cop. He wanted to find a job to support himself. On the contrary, the truth is that he was in the prison. There was no freedom. The room in the prison was dark. Soapy
2、 couldt see the sun from the room where he lived. It was cold and wet. Sometimes, when Soapy was asleep, the mouse would come out to bite his clothes. The food was not delicious at all, even it was not enough for Soapy to eat. He was still hungry after eating the food which was offered by the prison
3、. Another thing, Soapy had to do hard labor every day in prison. The cops were always keeping watch on the criminals. If they saw someone having a rest, they would use the baton to beat the person heavily. Soapy could not have eaten his fill and he was not so energetic to do hard labor. As a result,
4、 he was always beaten by the cops. Soapy often recalled the anthem in the church. It had become the symbol of God. In his mind, the God wanted to be a soul redeemer and he heard the anthem when he passed the church. He was moved and motivated by the invisible power of the God. So Soapy was going to
5、thoroughly remould himself. Even though he was in the prison now, his soul was free. Three months later, he could go out, then he will get free completely. If he continued to do bad things, even the God was not able to make him change. He was not only restrained in action, but also unfree in soul be
6、cause he would think his evil behaviors over and over again. The torture in the mind was much more terrible than the torture in body. Therefore, Soapy chose to obey the Gods will to be a new self.Day by day, the time flied quickly. Soapy was going to be free again. He was 2extremely fed up with the
7、painful life in the prison. It was a nightmare and the torture for him. He swore that he would never come back again. He was determined to be a good citizen.Three months had passed and the cold winter had passed, too. It was a sunny morning. The chief police in the prison declared that Soapy can be
8、released and leave the prison. Soapy was very excited, but at the meantime, he was confused. He did not know how to make a living by himself because he did not do any work before he wanted to change better, he did not know whether the job offered by the fur importer as a driver available or not. But
9、 he decided to have a try to ask for the position.Fortunately, the position was available. He told the truth to the fur importer. He understood the reality well and Soapys determination to turn over a new leaf. So he hired Soapy as a driver to transport the goods for his company.He worked very hard
10、as a driver in the fur company. Everyone in the world had at least one skill. Soapy was good at driving. His boss was satisfied with his performance. But he just earned a little money one month from the boss, even though he needed to work fifteen hours one day. It was not enough to support his daily
11、 life. So Soapy wanted to ask his boss whether he can get a higher salary. However, the answer he got from the boss was exceeding his expectation. The boss refused to raise the salary in a direct way. After that, his colleagues told him that they had been working here for three years now, but their
12、salaries had never been raised at all. It seemed that the boss was a gentleman from the appearance and the dressing. In fact, the truth was that he was generous to himself but mean to other people, even his wife or children. They told Soapy a story 3about the boss. Sometimes, his wife wanted to buy
13、a beautiful and fashionable dress. He always asked his wife to wait for a discount. Then he can a lot of money. The boss offered him a job when Soapy had nowhere to go. As a result, he left a good impression on Soapy at first. He thought the boss was a generous, kind and sympathetic person. He didnt
14、 understand it until his colleagues told him something unknown. Now, he knew why the post for a driver was empty for such a long time. The reason is, no one wanted to work for the boss. All his colleagues had nothing to do if they didnt work in the fur company. He knew what the real boss was at last
15、. He was disappointed and frustrated. If he were a millionaire, he would be generous to everyone. He needed to pay for the rent and offer himself enough food. He made a decision quickly. He must find another job where he could get a higher salary. He did not have other talents except driving. He had
16、 to learn some skills used in future jobs. He also needed to perform well at present because if the boss knew he kept a slack hand at work, then his wage would be deducted.One day, he drove the car to the town to send some goods. When the traffic light was red at the crossroad, he saw a car rushed o
17、ut from his left. Because the speed of the car was too fast, the driver crashed an old woman. The driver didnt stop instead of running away. Coincidently, the cop was seeing all of it. But he didnt stop the car. He just walked away without going to see the victim. Soapy was used to the seeing the be
18、havior of the cop. When the traffic light became green, Soapy drove away.Several weeks later, Soapys friend told him that one grocery store was employing a clerk. The employee didnt need to have any skill. He just needed to sell the goods in the shop. The salary was a little bit more than that of th
19、e fur company. The boss also 4offered free lunch for the employee. Soapy was very glad to hear the news. He prepared to go to the grocery store to find the job. But he didnt have decent clothes. So he went to buy new clothes. When he arrived at the clothes shop, he chose one jacket, one pair of pant
20、s and shoes. The money he paid to the clerk was borrowed from his friend. The moment he paid the money, one tramp stole a pair of shoes because he had no shoes on his feet. The clerks in the shop saw it, so they caught up the tramp and gave him a good beat. The tramp was a little boy and he seemed t
21、o be nine or ten years old. He was very scrawny. Soapy remembered his past experience when he was a tramp. So Soapy paid for the boy. The boy run away immediately without saying thanks to Soapy. Soapy just bought the jacket and a pair of pants. He was worried about the new job because he had no new
22、shoes. Luckily, the boss of the grocery store just saw Soapy; however, he didnt the young man, so he left. Soapy had no choice but to wear the old and worn-out shoes to see the boss. When the boss saw the young man who came to find a job was the man who helped the poor boy, he didnt ask any other qu
23、estions about Soapy then he agreed to hire Soapy as a clerk in his grocery store. Soapy was so excited that he met a kind boss this time. Soapy worked very hard in the store. He treated every customer with passion and made many new customers to regular ones. The boss raised his salary because of his
24、 good performance. And they got along well with each other. Soapy came to save some money by himself. He wanted to use the money to help the people in need. Two years later, the boss wanted to move another city but he didnt want to close 5the store. So he asked Soapy that whether Soapy wanted to be
25、the new boss of the grocery store. Of course Soapy would like to. But he didnt have enough money to buy the store from his boss. The boss trusted him completely. So they reached an agreement. Soapy can pay some money at first, then he can pay the remaining money in the following days. Soapy worked m
26、uch harder than before. He came up with some good ideas to sell the goods. The business was enlarged soon and Soapy earned a lot of money. After paying the money to the former boss, he could save some money. He used these money to help the poor people. He bought food and clothes for them. Day after
27、day, year after year, he opened many chain stores in many cities, so he became very rich. And he also established Soapy Foundation to do charity. Gradually, more and more people knew him. People can found him in the newspaper. He found his true love, too. Every people admired him and respected him b
28、ecause he was so rich. When the cop saw him in the street, they often asked there was anything they could help him. Soapy enjoyed his success. He also thought he was a great person.The sun was rising and the cop shouted that time for getting up to work now. Soapy rubbed his eyes and got out of bed to work.Soapys dream was broken. He still needed to stay in the prison for another month.
