　　The next day, Jay came again. He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground.Then he began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to. Before long, many people came,looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an importantthing into my hat. Please come to claim(认领)it soon.”

　　Seeing this, people wondered what it could be, After about half an hour, a middle-aged manrushed through the crowd to the young man and said, “I’m the George I knew you’d surelycome here!”

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