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:
" J# M7 Q i0 b' {"I am going to send it back". , @; ]7 h! {2 m. n7 F
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:
5 z4 p1 T- m% f "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
/ L$ {& V1 L) ~5 Y; _, pHe said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
# S" S \% X+ ~6 B4 X* \& F"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" 9 S% W) G2 T) J! Q3 b
"Yes, I did."+ t6 H8 x+ y+ Z+ f3 ~: g2 T! o+ J
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. / D8 C: j4 O) b: Y
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. ( E4 |, L9 D) X+ S
"Are you going to take some money from the wallet to pay the postage?"
7 O$ S3 Q0 `& ]' a"No, I am not. I do not do those things."
+ H/ l& \ R6 z0 s' qHe took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside. . T. l ?) W2 |, Y9 h
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: K7 y8 H$ O4 H B ~0 ~* E4 h. A
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"1 M( {- q! v1 q c, n- x6 p: b
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said: W/ e$ ~/ i7 ?1 j
"I do not have an address."
8 K: c5 U+ Z! Z0 p/ M/ x- @' HI was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"2 H h/ Y0 j) F+ w) Y# u' S
He did not look up, and said: "I do not have a home."
% u( m8 [" p# L8 dMy 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.
