Henry short story &amp;quot;The Cop and the Anthem&amp;quot;[1][2] tells of a homeless New York City man who commits small crimes, preferring arest and jail to charity handouts.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;But to one of Soapy&amp;#x27;s proud spirit the gifts of charity are encumbered. If not in coin you must pay in humiliation of spirit for every benefit received at the hands of philanthropy. As Caesar had his Brutus, every bed of charity must have its toll of a bath, every loaf of bread its compensation of a private and personal inquisition. Wherefore it is better to be a guest of the law, which though conducted by rules, does not meddle unduly with a gentleman&amp;#x27;s private affairs.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Soapy&amp;#x27;s many attempts fail, but the story ends with a typical O. Henry twist.  No spoiler here.&lt;p&gt;The story was filmed in 1952, one of five stories in &amp;quot;O. Henry&amp;#x27;s Full House.&amp;quot; Charles Laughton played the vagrant. He briefly meets Marilyn Monroe.

My dad, in particular, is a generally happy person, but doesn&amp;#x27;t have many friends. I worry that if my mom passes before him, he&amp;#x27;s going to have a rough time. I feel guilty because I&amp;#x27;m one of those children described in the article who moved to another city to chase economic + social activity.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Why some Japanese pensioners want to go to jail</title><url>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-47033704</url></story>
