In the busy
city of New York, such an astonishing
thing that ever happened.
On
a
Friday
night,
a
poor
young
artist
stood
at
the
gate
of
the
subway
station,
playing
his
violin.
Though
the
music
was
great,
people
were
quickly
going
home
for
the weekend. In this case, many of them
slowed down
their
paces
and
put
some
money
into
the
hat
of
the
young
man.
The next day, the young
artist came to the gate of
the
subway
station,
and
put
his
hat
on
the
ground
gracefully.
Different
than
the
day
before,
he
took
out
a large piece of paper and laid it on
the ground and
put some stones on it.
Then he adjusted the violin and
began
playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to.
Before long,
the young violinist was surrounded
with
people,
who
were
all
attracted
by
the
words
on
that
paper.
It
said,
“
Last
night,
a
gentleman
named
George
Sang put an important
thing into my hat by mistaken.
Please
come to claim it soon.
”
Seeing
this,
it
caused
a
great
excitement
and
people wondered what it could be. After
about half an
hour,
a
middle-
aged
man
ran
there
in
a
hurry
and
rushed
through
the
crowd
to the
violinist and
grabbed
his
shoulders
and
said,
“
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
calmly,
“
Are you Mr.
George Sang?
”
The
man
nodded.
The
violinist
asked,
“
Did
you
lose
something?
”
”
Lottery.
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
seized
the
lottery
ticket
and
kissed
it,
then
he
danced
with
the
violinist.
The story turned out to be this: George
Sang is an
office clerk. He bought a
lottery ticket issued by a
bank a few
days ago. The awards opened yesterday and
he
won
a
prize
of
$$500,000.
So
he
felt
very
happy
after
work and felt the
music was so wonderful, that he took
out 50 dollars and put in the hat.
However the lottery
ticket was also
thrown in. The violinist was a student
at an Arts College and had planned to
attend advanced
studies in Vienna. He
had booked the ticket and would
fly
that morning. However when he was cleaning up he
found
the
lottery
ticket.
Thinking
that
the
owner
would
return
to
look
for
it,
he
cancelled
the
flight
and
came
back to where he was given the lottery
ticket.
Later
someone asked the violinist:
“
At that time
you
were in needed to pay the tuition fee and you had
to play the violin in the subway
station every day to
make the money.
Then why didn
’
t you take the
lottery
ticket 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
honest should always be with us. If we
bear
ourselves
in
a
deceptive
and
dishonest
way,
we
may
succeed
temporarily.
However,
from
the
long-
term
view,
we will be a
loser. Such kind of people are just like
the water on the mountain. It stands
high above the
masses at the beginning,
but gradually it comes down
inch by
inch and loses the chance of going up.
