On a Friday night，a poor young violinist was playing
his violin at the entrance of the subway station．The music was so great that people slowed down to listen and put
some money into his hat．
The next day，the violinist came to the entrance
again．He put down
his hat as usual． Beside the
hat was a piece of paper with some words on it．It said，“A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake．Welcome to claim(认领)it．”Soon the people were all attracted by the words and wondered what
it could be．After a while
a man rushed through the crowd，took the violinist’s shoulders and said，“I knew you would certainly come
here．”The
violinist asked，“Did you lose
something?”“Lottery(彩票)．”The
violinist took out a lottery ticket with Sang’s name on it．Sang took it and danced happily．
Sang was an office worker．He bought the lottery and won a
prize of$500，000．But when he gave$50 to the
violinist for his wonderful music，the lottery ticket was thrown in， too．The violinist
was a college student．That morning，he was going to fly to Vienna for high education．However，when he found the ticket，he cancelled the flight and returned to the entrance．
Later someone asked the violinist why he
didn’t take the lottery ticket to pay the tuition fee(学费)．He said“Although I don’t have much money，I live happily．If I lose honesty(诚实)，I won’t be happy forever．”
