Maria is a cashier(收银员)in a big shop in New York.People can buy medicine,watches,sweets,and many other things.They pay Maria for the things they buy.

At the shop people can also buy lottery tickets(彩票).They pay one dollar for a lottery ticket.There are pictures on the tickets.Some pictures are winning pictures,and some pictures are losing pictures.Most people win nothing.Some people win two dollars.Only a few lucky people win thousands of dollars.

One day Maria was working at the shop.She sold three lottery tickets to a woman.The woman looked at the pictures on the tickets.Then she threw the tickets on the counter and left.“These are losing tickets,” she said to herself.

Maria picked up the tickets and looked at them.To her great surprise,one of them was a winning ticket!

“Excuse me!” Maria called to the woman.“You won $50,000!”

The woman came back to the counter.She took the winning ticket and looked at it carefully.“I can't believe it.” she said,“I won $50,000.” The woman walked away slowly,looking at the ticket again and again.Then she turned around,“Thank you! Thank you very much!” she said to Maria excitedly.

Why did Maria give the woman the ticket? Why didn’t she keep the ticket? Didn't she want the $50,000?

“Well,I'm sorry that you aren't rich,” her mother said,“But I'm happy that you're so honest.”

Dear Mom and Dad,

  We have some exciting news for you. Maria is going to have a baby! We didn't tell you right away. At first the doctor said she might have some trouble with the baby. Now, he says she is just fine. She is very healthy and happy ---- and large! She still works on her paintings every day. But she stopped teaching art classes. She gets tired more quickly now.

  There is going to be another big change in our lives. We' re moving back to New York! We want to be closer to you and to Jane. It is much nicer to be near the family for something important like a baby. Maria grew up in Mexico, and she doesn't have a family here. So that makes you more important to us.

  Maria is a little worried about working in New York. She will have to start again there. In Italy, her paintings are already popular. But I' m sure people will like them in New York, too. There won' t be any problem with my job. I' m still working for The New York Times. I'll be working about the United Nations in New York.

  We're planning to move next month. See you then!
