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:
1 H# p+ h5 S; U8 B% }"I am going to send it back".
8 R+ D) o+ A6 k0 Q9 Q+ EI 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:
0 k" {2 G+ J, l! |6 @5 @ "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
) w0 N) z6 N$ Z/ ?He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." - E3 H8 |/ H" K! L9 H: o) X/ K) M
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" ( C& ^5 X3 D, Q8 |
"Yes, I did."
# [ N: Y+ z% L5 \; GFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. 1 [' I6 D! x; q! R6 s, g
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. " Y& o9 R# J! u) [- y1 {6 u$ E
"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
5 T2 `5 c& w) Y7 l2 G* P6 p! O"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
1 Z1 {* A6 d# ~4 uHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
G/ H( H% g# [$ E- U- A0 w' W* lI 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:
3 l+ E. i0 w9 ^* t k"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"9 { l- e6 R7 C% q8 Z
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:
7 o4 O. I! }6 i5 }- N"I do not have an address."5 @' f! `$ s1 m0 R
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"
( b- c E1 Y4 {( h4 Q" pHe did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."
" [7 M: _0 h0 E5 s9 AMy 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.
