【题目】On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Attracted by the great music, many of the passers-by their paces and put some money into his hat.

The next day, the artist came again. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he the violin and began playing. On the paper it said, “Last night a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to it soon.”

It caused a great excitement among the and people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran there. “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 , “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. “Did you lose something?” “It’s lottery,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded promptly and the lottery ticket and kissed it.

The story turned out to be this: George Sang bought a lottery ticket. The awards opened yesterday and he won a of $500,000. He was so happy, but when he took out 50 dollars to put in the hat, the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Art College and has planned to attend studies in Vienna, He has booked the ticet and would fly that morning. However he cancelled the and came back to wait.

Later someone asked the violinist, “At that time you were in need to pay the fee and you had to play the violin every day to make the money. Then why didn’t you the lottery for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much, but being should always be with us.
