Many people slowed down and put some money into the hat before him. The next day, the young artist came again. This time, he took out a large piece of paper and put it on the ground. Before long, a crowd gathered around because of the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat. Please come to get it soon.” 　　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. He said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you’re an honest man and would certainly come here.” Making sure it was George Sang, the violinist took out a lottery ticket (彩票) and returned it to him. George was a bank clerk and the lottery ticket would bring him $500,000. Yesterday when he took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat, the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to attend studies in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning. However thinking that the owner would return for it, he cancelled the flight and came back. Later someone asked the violinist, “You had to play the violin at 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.” ( )6.The artist played the violin at the subway station to ______.
