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: ) @; }2 A; K4 J+ h |& l
"I am going to send it back". 3 g" \4 X {) {; G" h4 E
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:( q* E& G4 D( z$ ^
"I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
$ [, B. h! A6 b" L& B( [He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." 2 v) a d1 E5 A1 ^% A
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
! Q# p; c) q8 }+ i% _) Q"Yes, I did."9 y7 u5 U: D* C- H# U: _) O: K
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post.
$ b; b* A* x4 o( c9 ]7 ?# _) eHe 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. : T$ J/ k& r0 W, P, q' z4 {
"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"! C$ A" O" [/ ]' P" W$ s
"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
' q: r9 ~0 z3 M" }* a8 M4 Y( DHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
& |3 n* ~ K% s8 mI 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:/ K( ?* V3 R! M$ n# |& c
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"
0 j! |. g' q- r; ]* P3 C0 ?"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:

/ r0 N% a5 @# K7 BMy 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. 2 N- S- x+ E7 b& y# s, b8 m9 ]2 Q
He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity. # [ e' G( \0 A6 H
