(i) The headmaster of the post office says these words to the postman.
(ii) The writer of the letter was Lancho, the farmer.
(iii) The unshakable trust of Lancho on God that he addressed a letter with the receiver name as "God" made the letter special.
(iv) The postmaster, i.e., the speaker, wishes to have the same amount of trust and faith in god as Lancho has.
Explanation:
The given lines are taken from an excerpt from the chapter, "A letter to God", written by G.L.Fuentes. The story revolves around the idea of having an undeniable faith in God. The story here takes place in Latin American countries.
Lancho, the farmer who is the main character of the story, writes a letter to God. In the letter, he asks the Almighty for help when he discovers that his entire crop has been destroyed by a devastating hail storm.
His wishes are partially, if not perfect, fulfilled, but ultimately remain ungrateful. He also questions the postmaster's honesty and humility. But it was only these beings that actually (anonymously) helped him with money in the name of God.
