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: 9 m) Y6 F9 y* ?% T/ z
"I am going to send it back".
* }4 J# f2 k) r$ {: w3 s$ sI 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:9 a4 q6 [& n7 a
"I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
4 ^, U/ c4 T) ?) V8 yHe said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." " l: x! z# x! f6 ?; f
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" 5 E/ l* q6 Y( ` C
"Yes, I did."
5 l( j, |6 r( h4 j3 y- cFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post.
. N: a. j* O0 I4 F3 uHe 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.
' ~5 ~7 P) h) Z"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
0 K& p6 o2 u$ `+ C1 t"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
1 N& @# v8 P: g9 ~' K: tHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside. 4 c6 l2 {. ^( n- _4 U" F& I' W
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:# ~4 I8 [7 T% c: X! x
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"6 F2 O. H: x0 |) \7 }+ e5 Z
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:
- X' b9 s- P9 G; q) \"I do not have an address."
4 q1 W, n i: ]" I' E7 zI was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"
0 p2 O' D9 Z9 l' u; jHe did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."2 P& @! b* L' e0 D$ a. J6 n
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. . S# p; i: n' Z2 s g0 c# U- Y
He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity. , s* V3 S3 R! I/ @. c
