Lesson 1 is A letter to the god
Answer:
A letter to God.
Explanation: It is about a farmer named Lencho who was hoping for a good downpour for his crops. Rain did come, but soon it turned out to be a hailstorm which destroyed his crops. He was sad, thinking that his family would starve. However, he had faith in God and was sure that Gold would help the family.
Lencho wrote a letter to God asking for a hundred Pesos, simply putting the address as 'God'. The next day, he posted the letter at the post office.
When the postmaster found out, he and his employees were initially surprised, but then they admired the farmer's faith and decided to help him. The postmaster, his employees, and some friends contributed some money and together, it was 70 pesos. The postmaster put the money in an envelope and put a single signature, God so that Lencho's faith wouldn't be shaken.
The next day, Lencho got the letter at the post office and counted his money. He got upset on not seeing 100 pesos. Feeling sure that God would never make a mistake or cheat him, he wrote another letter to God asking for the remaining 30 pesos. He also wrote in his letter, that God shouldn't send his money through the post office, feeling that the post office employees had stolen a part of the 100 pesos that he wanted.
