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:
4 A1 [' C5 F' F/ k2 w"I am going to send it back". 0 u" a+ [/ @, D# g$ H8 i# @
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 D6 @9 d9 f9 L2 V* W; D "I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
' c! \7 W+ }# D: |( e! h ~He said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage." , F8 g. @" _+ Y* U3 p: U
"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" : m5 P6 m% y c6 \5 g: O: r9 m0 d
"Yes, I did."; R3 {! x6 ]$ c+ |' k- l* c
Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post.
" a3 J5 W) B" g, g$ r. L$ L- J0 IHe 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.

He took out his wallet, which was nearly worn-out, small, and almost empty. There were some coins inside.
; F0 o4 {% ^1 {3 SI 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:6 J1 _2 e- V/ Z
"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"

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.
