A LETTER TO GOD
Introduction:
Lencho's Sadness After the Hailstorm Once upon a time, there was a farmer
named Lencho who lived with his family on a hill. He worked hard to grow corn in
his field, hoping for a good harvest to support his family.
Lencho's Hope Crushed by the Hailstorm
One day, during the summer, it started raining, making Lencho happy. He went
outside to feel the rain, thinking it would help his crops. However, strong winds
and hailstones suddenly appeared, destroying all his corn. His once- green field
turned into a snowy landscape.
Lencho's Strong Belief in God
Even though Lencho lost everything, he believed in God and wrote a letter seeking
help. In his letter, he asked God for a one hundred pesos to replant his field and
feed his family until the new crops grew. He believed that God could make things
right.
The Postmaster's Response
After a good laugh at the unique address, Lencho's letter reached the post
office, and the postmaster read the heartfelt plea. Touched by Lencho's
faith, he gathered money from the post office employees and even
contributed from his salary.
Lencho's Disappointment and Second Letter to God
Lencho received the money but was disappointed to find only seventy pesos. He
wrote another letter to God, asking for the remaining thirty pesos. He also
mentioned that he did not trust the post office employees, calling them crooks.
Conclusion: Lessons of Faith and Help from Others
Lencho's story teaches us about having faith, even when things go wrong. It also
shows how people can come together to help someone in need. The mix of faith,
irony at the post office, and Lencho's journey leaves us with a valuable lesson
about trust and kindness.
CHARACTER SKETCH OF LENCHO :
Lencho was a simple farmer who was very hard-working. He was completely
dependent on the yield of his fields. He had good knowledge of farming. His
crops had always been good. He knew his crops needed a good downpour to get a
good yield. But when the rain changed into a hail storm his crop was destroyed.
