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 T. [' ?7 i7 E& B$ F: {
"I am going to send it back".
: g( `& _) ?6 dI 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:
1 ?5 n7 ], @+ j. D "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
$ f2 E- S, ?) q& C v+ y0 bHe said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." ' Z3 A9 v( f; W) e0 `/ ]3 r* E
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" " i0 {4 b: F; m" p0 ~" u4 a1 @
"Yes, I did."
( R u; Z% M! U( YFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. 8 @3 F4 q9 V: T3 R! C% s8 E# C
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.
* g3 k" ^7 X; w2 v) z"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
' c; [5 p9 v- p8 t"No, I am not. I do not do those things."

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:
5 O* P2 k; e3 f# j2 l"Is it okay that I do not write this part?", O: P! l/ n' A) ?1 ] Q
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:) g$ {" C( W# w0 L
"I do not have an address."' h5 V3 V- ?; g* z+ @
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"( ]8 u; Z; @) _0 p7 M
He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."4 _8 N) d* x6 N, O. a4 D$ |
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. ! J9 W7 ?1 s6 `8 V
He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity.
