Please come to claim (认领) it soon.”After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Y es, it‟s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It‟s a lottery ticket,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang‟s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked.
