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:
7 Q% w$ @( t j9 S0 s F3 Q1 ^"I am going to send it back". $ r$ q, P" P% j8 _( [# J1 e. R
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:
( f" D2 ~7 h% h, g! q+ ^ "I am sorry, what are you sending back?" . J% q% t/ i8 C$ i
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." " m q3 N1 |, r" p% w
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" " S: V' l* E0 ]) k, _
"Yes, I did."
' P& @/ L7 A* e9 _ S7 f. ZFinally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. 1 A/ I% Z0 s9 B, k1 a7 ]: P+ _+ [
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.
$ B, F0 c3 Q' w7 k0 s! M$ i"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?". ~! f9 L3 I" l- p4 x, K
"No, I am not. I do not do those things."8 p/ g4 |; q: W
He took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside. 5 O: x: R* e4 H- o
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:2 p/ X- x0 G* T% Q, J! Q5 D
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"
3 L7 T% V5 S2 d* w"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:' N; p5 s6 b1 z% q$ F- ]# |, `" d' X
"I do not have an address."5 V1 m0 Q H: V1 }7 u7 ^ _
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"7 p4 v6 y% L/ u9 a( ^
He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."$ ^) q- C' b; K5 u1 l; s
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.
( U: d& `7 Q3 V/ w1 iHe did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity.
