Question

    On a Friday night in New York, a poor young man called Jack stood near the subway station, playing his violin. He wanted to make some money. The music was so great that many people stopped and put some money into the hat.

The next day, Jack came again. He put the hat on the ground, and then he took out a large piece of paper and put it under the hat. Then he began playing the violin. Many people came, looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to get it back."

People all wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said. "I'm Bill Black. I am so happy that you've come back here!".

Then Bill explained the whole story： He happened to hear Jack's wonderful music on his way home the last night. He took out ﹩10 and put it in the hat on the ground. However, his ring was also thrown in. But he didn't know about it until he got home. He thought he wouldn't be able to have his expensive ring back. But to his great happiness, he got it again.

Jack was a student at an art school in France. He planned to fly back to France that morning. However, when he saw the ring in his hat, he decided to stay and tried to find the owner. He said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily, but if I lose honesty, I will never be happy."
