| One day, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. He wanted to collect money for his schooling. When he got home, he found there was a lottery (彩票) among the money. The next day, he went there again, put his hat on the ground. Meanwhile he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to get it soon. "Then he began playing. It caused a great excitement and people wondered what it could be. After half an hour, a man ran there and said, "Yes, it's you. You did come here. I knew that you re an honest man and would certainly come here. " The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr. George Sang?" The man nodded. The violinist asked,"Did you lose something?" "Lottery. It's a lottery", said the man. The violinist gave him the lottery. George was excited to see the lottery. He said he bought a lottery ticket a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. Later someone asked the violinist, " Why didn't you take the lottery ticket for yourself? Then you don't have to play here." The violinist said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever." |
