away without going to see the victim. Soapy was used to the seeing the behavior of the cop. When the traffic light became green, Soapy drove away.
Several weeks later, Soapy’s friend told him that one grocery store was employing a clerk. The employee didn’t 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 the fur company. The boss also offered 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 didn’t have decent clothes. So he went to buy new clothes.
When he arrived at the clothes shop, he chose one jacket, one pair of pants 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 to 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 shoes. Luckily, the boss of the grocery store just saw Soapy; however, he didn’t 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 didn’t ask any other questions 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 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 didn’t want to close the store. So he asked Soapy that whether Soapy wanted to be the new boss of the grocery store. Of course Soapy would like to. But he didn’t 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 much 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 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 because 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.
Soapy’s dream was broken. He still needed to stay in the prison for another month.
