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 b# @5 Y) ~3 k! z
"I am going to send it back". 9 |$ U, _0 F( v# N3 k
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:/ Y* @+ f O- v1 f, T5 K+ X
"I am sorry, what are you sending back?"
* N5 f/ {2 j# q8 p9 X( |8 KHe said, "the Wallet, I am sending back the wallet." Then he added: "I am going to pay the postage."
0 Y G0 m! ~' s6 S"Oh, you found a wallet, and you are going to send it back to the person who lost it?" 8 p6 u4 P+ O* D$ e- P- u
"Yes, I did."
; R. J5 l" l. S$ @Finally I understood: this dishevelled man found a wallet, and he was going to return it to the owner by post. ( \4 t5 B) ]' {0 `( l
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.

"No, I am not. I do not do those things."

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:
* z! o, a$ Z* b9 d9 G( N7 \"Is it okay that I do not write this part?"7 S, m1 v" S" W( t0 ~
"Yes, you may." I thought he must want to be a nameless hero. But he said:

I was surprised: "oh, where do you live?"
