Today I was volunteering at a post office. A man in an old jacket with uncombed hair came to the counter. He had a wallet in his hand, and put it on the counter. He told me:
4 c+ w: q) w" _1 E7 @"I am going to send it back". / {% b! Z5 U) a
I did not understand what he meant by "it", because usually people would send a letter or a parcel back to the sender, and I did not see he had any of those. So I asked him:
9 ?5 P3 v2 S) V0 h% R "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
5 a& U9 O7 h4 N. wHe said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
5 E! E! A9 k! W! X8 F& d"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
, Z+ c% d1 e: N; c7 d7 P3 }"Yes, I did."

He took the ID card from the wallet, and showed me the address of the loser of the wallet. I saw there were several one-hundred bills in the wallet.

0 z' o, | D6 G- f& Q"No, I am not. I do not do those things."% M8 w5 T+ y4 M
He took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
& G/ ^/ `1 q6 B" ^+ ]/ @, V5 AI gave him a bubbled envelope, and instructed him where to write the addresses. He wrote the owner's address, but stopped at writing a return address. He asked:
* x! H- ?1 c* u! L1 u"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"! n+ p* P3 T5 F
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:. }% h9 O4 C* S$ R" h" |
"I do not have an address." D* U( y2 G5 T% [
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"
0 V% T- h% D1 qHe did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."4 a6 h+ ^8 D; M$ a$ A$ m+ H. w
My heart had a sudden jump. I realized that this is a homeless man who found money but was sending it back to the person who lost it.
