On a Friday night, a poor young man stood at the gate of the railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into his hat.

The next day, the young man came to the same place again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it, “George Sang has put an important thing into my hat carelessly. Welcome to claim (认领) it.” Then he began to play the violin. Soon he was surrounded (围绕) by many people. They all wanted to know what the words on the paper meant. After an hour a man named George Sang ran here quickly and got back his important thing. He said many thanks to the young man.

The important thing was a lottery ticket (彩票). Sang bought it and won a prize of $500,000. But when he gave $50 to the young man for his wonderful music, he threw the lottery ticket, too.

Later people asked the young man why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket for himself. The young man said, “Though I don’t have much money, I live happily. If I lose honesty (诚实), I won’t be happy any longer.”
