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:
' f3 U* a4 g$ `8 f0 V"I am going to send it back". 6 T5 R6 a- }9 ^: u2 x9 u
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:7 l1 h; @7 M1 l$ P8 T) J% n! ]
"I am sorry, what are you sending back?" ! ]* }% m' t" x3 h
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
+ _! G! @% p; E% a1 v) b* o' ^7 I- ~6 M"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
b5 U; t1 i6 h2 o t/ o2 m5 O* {% k0 G( G"Yes, I did."3 M' C- `, T& o
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. " p( b H/ W, H- {* d
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.
* Y6 L. [+ l7 T* J( L( X) h3 M"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
) {) g! ^& `/ B V! b1 z"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
! k* V# D; A; N) A: nHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside. , k1 l' a. C5 V
I 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:
1 m) D4 x# j; n+ s W! z8 o/ D; p"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"5 q, n. K) e/ l! E6 G) J
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:0 T/ B4 X. h; ^8 j9 U
"I do not have an address."0 J' W; f( G. `' J9 ?6 S
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"- ` K( t# }- F- W
He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."+ p) ]- x5 d o
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.
