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 f/ d0 u/ @/ W; V' ]6 U9 i+ i/ s/ C$ l"I am going to send it back". 7 c3 I& A8 a5 U$ F. G$ Y
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:
2 a/ J6 w# I7 N& M/ f+ [2 l "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
8 T: k% x9 d7 ]. t5 k/ w9 mHe said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
# Q& ]1 m6 H. I- `, |/ w1 |9 D"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
" V$ i* Z0 J- z/ v& {4 E"Yes, I did."
4 j M# t3 E- x+ `) _4 B1 _3 I% j; WFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. 3 U2 {2 q, i" |+ {: j! j
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.
4 r7 |; s8 j, X1 U" K"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"( y; ]- j) c ]- J2 K8 [) I! I3 }# H% ?( n
"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
1 h) P' d; u0 Z: \: S/ uHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
4 l5 A6 a A' I" e2 k5 S Z$ y* Q5 _6 WI 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:5 S, q% |- F" ^' {1 q
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"5 P2 p9 ?5 }7 `: M
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:8 ?/ E, s& X# r4 u. ~% R" o
"I do not have an address."

& A5 w6 E7 z8 E oMy 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.
6 b+ P; Q6 O' wHe did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity. $ M9 Z4 _5 @ A/ c
