In New York,on a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of a train station.He was playing his violin.His music was so great that many people put money into his?? ?? .
The next day ,the young artist came to the ?? ?? place, and played the violin as usual. Different from the day before,he took out a piece of paper and put ? ?? on the ground.The paper read ,“Last night ,a man named George Sang put an important thing into my hat ?? ?? .Please come to get it soon..”
After about half an hour,a(an) ??? ?? man there in a hurry, “Oh ,it’s you . You did come here.”The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr George Sang?” “Yes!Yes!”Then the violinist asked , “Did you lose something?” “Lottery(彩票).It’s the most valuable lottery in my 70 years of life,”said the man.
The violinist ? ? a lottery ticket. George Sang’s name was on it, so the violinist? ? ? it to him.
Later someone asked the violinist, “Since you ?? ?? play the violin every day to make your tuition (学费)in the university, why didn’t you keep 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 get a lot and lose so much . But being ?? ?? should always be with us. If we act in a dishonest way, we may ?? ?? in a short period. However, from the long-term view, we will be a loser.
