問題詳情：

On a Friday night in New York, a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station, playing the violin. The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his hat. 

       The next day, Jay came again. He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing. Before long, many people came, looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat. Please came to claim (認領) it soon.”  After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said, “I’m the George. I knew you’d surely come here!”

       Then George explained the whole story. He bought a lottery(*) ticket a few days ago. Yesterday he found that he won a prize of $500,000. He was very excited. On his way home, he felt the music was so wonderful that he took out $100 and put it on the hat. However, the lottery ticket with his name on was also thrown in.

       Jay was a student at an art school in Paris. He had booked the flight and would fly that morning. However, when he found the lottery ticket, he cancelled the flight and came back to the subway station.

       Later someone asked Jay,” Why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?” He said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”
