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: / @* P! u) `9 T8 K7 r& O% v- s- W
"I am going to send it back".
9 A5 t. r; X" h* l! PI 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:# K% C- Q9 K# b% ~# G$ F
"I am sorry, what are you sending back?" : v9 \9 o$ R6 D/ s
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." 3 Y3 |$ {4 I' i7 ]) O y
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
0 A' |2 @( `( X- C) h! P"Yes, I did."
9 z" d8 C$ S8 G9 ~9 x- F5 T nFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. 2 S& o* j+ Y+ e7 u
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. ; ?! w1 p, w8 {4 K/ H+ t: v: j; y

"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
! X) k% f) E+ MHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
6 Z4 C! E. e/ k0 QI 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:
- G( q( _2 v% T& a; E"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"* f9 w; ~0 v4 `3 N
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:& f" x+ D1 a3 I5 ?2 o8 Y, e2 n" v
"I do not have an address.") |' H1 b/ ?, E
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"

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. $ W S. p3 w3 ^1 u- @* W
He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity. . E4 S, g6 |/ ]7 C5 \! K8 F
