One Friday night, a poor young man stood at a gate of the railway station. He played his violin and many people put money into the hat in front of him.
The next day, the young man came to the gate again, and put his hat on the ground. But different from what he always did in the past days, he took out a large piece of paper with some words in it and laid it on the ground. It said, ―Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come soon, Mr. Sang.‖
After about an hour, a middle-aged man ran to the young man in a hurry and said, ―It’s you! You do come here. I know that you’re an honest man and will certainly come here.‖ The young man asked, ―Are you Mr. George Sang? Did you lose anything?‖ ―A lottery (奖券) ticket,‖ answered the middle-aged man. The young man took out a lottery ticket and gave it to the man.
The prize of the lottery ticket was ＄500,000. Yesterday when the middle-aged man knew he won, he was very happy. He took out 50 dollars and put it in the hat. However, the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
Later, someone asked the young man, ―You play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you just take the prize of the lottery ticket for yourself?‖ The young man said, ―Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.‖

Modern zoos are different from old zoos of fifty years ago. In old zoos people could see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages. The zoo keepers(饲养员) took good care of them, but many of the animals did not feel well, and they often fell ill.
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions(自然条件). The animals are free in larger places. Trees and grass grow in cages and water runs through the places. There is often a deep pool filled with water in it. In an American zoo, visitors can see some small animals and many birds when they walk through a big special cage, and it is large enough for the birds to live naturally.
Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors, but also keep and save rare(稀罕的) animals. For this reason, people in the future will still be able to enjoy watching these animals. 56. Where did the animals live in old zoos?
