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:
; I# o+ c d6 _4 [6 I6 x- q"I am going to send it back". W) p, o W* L# j! {+ K9 B5 K% b0 v
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:
0 }4 t+ h' r1 Y. g "I am sorry, what are you sending back?" ( P& t1 D1 e( J1 G7 Y
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
( _* \ B4 T: G"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
) X+ i' ~3 A2 G"Yes, I did."
3 o2 m$ x$ [. B2 m$ f% l+ ~Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. ; _0 M8 ]# Q1 f5 V
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.
# y- b' T/ p, Q3 y: Y/ I* v# N"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"

+ O1 v% e1 f9 N G) bHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside. " D) J8 b' L5 \8 Z5 q! X
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:- d' u2 e2 d: m) ]
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"
- [0 c) ?% R# y2 z$ A# _"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:$ T$ N3 T# v# P3 D: H/ j
"I do not have an address."

He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."6 |' E2 J' r* Z4 m
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.
