On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the 　36　 　of the young man.

The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 37　 from the day before, he took out a large piece of　 38　 　and laid it on the ground. Then he began 　39 .

Before long, the young violinist was　 40　 with people, who were all attracted by the 　41　 　on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat 　42　 . Please come to claim(认领) it soon."

After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would 　44　 　come here."

"Are you Mr. George Sang?"

The man nodded.

"Did you 　45　 something?"

"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.

The violinist　 46　 a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.

George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and 　47　 　it; then he danced with joy.

George bought a lottery ticket which 　48　 　him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat. 　49　 　, the lottery ticket was also thrown in.

When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket　 50　 　himself, the violinist said," 　51　 I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
