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: , Q) C7 n" g" I9 v/ z
"I am going to send it back".
( o- |& C0 Z8 J* B# {2 YI 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 l* ]# t/ B: n "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
0 P- K' _5 K6 d4 P* |He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." $ |, [5 D3 d; O9 s* s8 V
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
$ q8 u1 Y0 V! s; d"Yes, I did."( A* f! X; n. S; [* l1 G% G9 {
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post.
5 b# J1 m) P" AHe 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. . O( ?( {# U2 l5 m8 B* y9 l' I) H
"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
2 x3 N) u- U% _# K3 V"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
$ q' L: U9 R" H3 o) H* J" PHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
9 _9 U% D- l/ o# i4 iI 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:
d% |! _/ G: X. A$ Y"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"
- v7 w+ q( G2 S8 p. x8 n* J; U e"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:" V7 C) ~) B3 G& W! o% X& z

He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."
6 |4 e* ^3 U) @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.
