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:
6 m+ B- m* S3 h"I am going to send it back". ) n: {+ i" q2 d+ f+ O4 c- Q5 ^
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 ]! |9 j% r- ?$ Y y
"I am sorry, what are you sending back?" D8 ~: R- |$ ^' g4 L; g
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." 9 `5 Q& R$ b0 P7 Y* R' g
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
7 [0 t N- \9 i5 O3 V"Yes, I did."6 W4 h6 ^- }+ d1 N
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. * k# I5 [: }9 Z- i
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.

"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
6 P7 z0 O0 y. G7 EHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside. : `* p3 L% x8 `: {5 o1 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:0 G' Z3 c- I" c2 Z- Q. F
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"
/ x5 G% B) A, A"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:
5 i$ o9 }8 r. W* b, V, D"I do not have an address."

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. ! s1 X2 a. {, r7 w5 [2 t
He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity.
