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:
1 h' ?. z8 z2 W6 c4 q"I am going to send it back".
# V3 z6 |3 q" l/ 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:
) R7 y& j/ f% Q; L1 r3 ]' ^" K+ p$ y "I am sorry, what are you sending back?" 9 s% g1 A1 S6 l' f+ k! ]$ _# V2 v
He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." + B% b: o, u3 t a- \
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?"
- t9 \6 o3 s( O- ~$ N8 p- k"Yes, I did."$ f$ Y( [8 f' G' a/ h# P u
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post.
( v% F* Q* M' Q& U/ b, P2 NHe 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. # _( N. l5 m& q) W9 _; A/ \
"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"2 R" O, x5 v9 H$ k p4 g
"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
; A( V+ M0 D( u( XHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
# w4 `9 ?. Z B3 l7 P+ }$ P- ^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:* O1 K8 H( ?& p3 s2 ^4 S
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"
5 B3 _$ x8 X$ Y2 X" r9 ~' L"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:) v0 k N1 X. {' R
"I do not have an address."9 B m8 j6 j+ \3 P5 N# g$ u
I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"
% z v% ^1 l6 H3 m0 _He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."

He did not a posses a home, but he had a big heart. He had the precious fortune of being a man of integrity.
