On a Friday night in New York, a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station, playing his violin: The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his bat.
The next day, Jay carne again. He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to. Before long, many people came, looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat. Please come to claim (认领) it soon.”
Seeing this, people wondered what it could be, After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said, “I'm the George I knew you'd surely come here!”

On his way home, he felt the music was so wonderful that he took out $ 100 and put it in the hat. However, the lottery ticket with his name on was also thrown in.
