①On a Sunday night, a poor young artist 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.
②After an hour, a man rushed through the crowd to the artist and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew you were honest and would certainly come here.” The artist asked politely, “Are you Jack?” The man nodded. “Did you lose anything?” “Yes. It’s a lottery ticket(彩票),” said the man. The artist took out a lottery ticket with Jack’s name on it and returned it to the man.
③The next day, the young artist came to the same place and played the violin again. He laid a small board beside his hat. Soon people were attracted(吸引)by the words on it. It said, “Last night, a gentleman with the name of ‘Jack’ put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to get it soon.”
④Later his classmate asked the artist, “You are a student and you need money to pay the tuition for further study in the college. Why don’t you keep the lottery ticket to yourself?” The artist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”
