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:
. _+ n2 a8 A4 d7 b9 m( b"I am going to send it back". 8 k+ b+ o# i8 T' [+ c7 a, Z
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:
+ F! l8 o3 \; A9 y' h# w "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
3 }' Y$ {9 G0 f9 o. G ?4 ^He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." . R3 h z, v! y* \/ w
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" * W: I' R6 J" }
"Yes, I did."
' i4 f3 m2 p5 `2 F" q7 L4 W0 TFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post.
9 H) W& N' w. MHe 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. / s; f* A$ |2 m, a e( ?$ H
"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
: X3 j) U& R; `7 K+ O) C"No, I am not. I do not do those things."( U' u2 O/ R, @% ^1 u1 G
He took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
" [+ G7 s- t6 ]0 ~' j# }- NI 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:

G; l% r$ h4 G _2 _"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:9 i) ~ _ i* p: l6 q4 b
"I do not have an address."

$ a1 \! `' C' G/ m1 p7 Z9 ~3 QHe did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."/ O8 a& g3 ^9 h/ V
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. 8 M' ^/ R. s+ K7 d% G. a5 G
He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity. ; J( O; P' a6 G, Z: F( @# ]& F
