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:
' o: H9 r# W7 @( p# H4 I/ G* V"I am going to send it back".
5 T/ H; ^2 [7 C, j& {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:
: M& l8 D; B" {2 [ "I am sorry, what are you sending back?" # O0 d. V( x0 P* \' O- [
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
6 _) T/ ]- Z6 X$ J- [) w- f& P* r"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" ) [& }7 K+ }6 Q9 M4 t
"Yes, I did."; X6 X5 R- A% C
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. 8 Y, }4 H, n9 J6 a# 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.
3 d7 O1 k0 |8 }- q+ m4 M"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"9 ]# t( h- ?5 |: S9 I) i3 E
"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
2 M9 }1 G. _0 D4 aHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
# r8 j% a" N- D8 p& ]" b; x9 OI 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:4 G, t/ v- Z$ G+ X( y9 `' ^: |3 y6 Q
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"7 C" a% y* F; l& P
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:

He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."

" ?# S, S4 S& i' E" \! ?" oHe did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity. 2 I: x, `' e& o& X9 C; K6 x
