Answer 2

Lencho, a farmer, had grown corn and kidney beans on his farm, things were looking good and he was expecting a bumper harvest if the farm received enough rain. During the day he predicted that it was going to rain after he had spent the day scanning the sky and waiting for signs of rain. That evening, while having dinner with his family, it actually began to rain. Lencho was very happy and even stepped out to feel the rain; he went back to the house convinced that he would reap abundantly. The weather suddenly became adverse and instead, the rain changed to hailstones which wrecked havoc on his farm. All his crops were completely destroyed. He became very sad and sought God’s intervention and this is when he decided to write a letter to God, which spoke of his predicament and the help he required.

“A plague of locusts would have left more than this… the hail has left nothing: this year we will have no corn or beans…”
