Answer:
NTRODUCTION : ‘A Letter to God’ is a story of extreme faith in God. A natural calamity leaves Lencho, a hard-working farmer,
in distress. The farmer writes a letter to God asking him to send money. The chapter concludes in a very ironic
situation.
SUMMARY—
Lencho was a poor but hardworking farmer. His house was on the top of a hill and that was the only house
in the valley. He hoped for a good crop, but his fields needed rain or at least a shower. He waited for the rain
and it did come. One day, it started drizzling. In the beginning, Lencho felt the falling rain drops as ‘new silver
coins’ falling from the sky. But gradually, the rain transformed into a hail storm. The hailstones fell for an
hour. It destroyed his crop completely. Lencho’s soul was filled with sadness. He thought that they would go
hungry the whole year unless they found someone who could help them. Suddenly his heart was filled with
hope. He had firm faith in God. Lencho knew how to read and write. The following Sunday, he wrote a letter
to God mentioning his destroyed crop and asked him for money so that he could sow his field again. Then he
put the letter in an envelope, addressed it to ‘God’ and went to the post office. He affixed a stamp on it and
dropped it in the mail-box.
The postman, who took the letter out of the mail-box saw the letter and showed it to the postmaster. Everyone
in the post office had a hearty laugh. But immediately the postmaster realised the man’s predicament and
unshakable faith in God. He decided to help the man. He discussed with his colleagues and all of them decided
to part with some money for an act of charity. They collected money, put it in an envelope and addressed it to
Lencho. This letter contained a single word in the form of a signature : God.
The next Sunday, Lencho went to the post office. The postmaster handed him the letter. Lencho was not at all
surprised on receiving a letter from God. He had unshakable faith that God would reply in the form of money
and he did receive it. He opened the envelope but became angry on counting the money. There were only
seventy pesos in the envelope, whereas he had asked for one hundred. He knew God could not have made a
mistake. Immediately, he wrote another letter to God, put it in the mail-box and went out.
The postmaster took out the letter from the mail-box and opened it. Lencho had requested God to send the
rest of the money i.e., thirty pesos as he had received only seventy pesos. Lencho had a feeling that the people
at the post office had cheated him by taking out some money from God’s envelope. So, he wrote that God
should not send money through mail as according to him, the post office employees were a bunch of crooks.
Explanation:
The story, "A Letter to God" by G.L. Fuentes depicts unwavering faith of a farmer in God. It begins with a farmer, named Lencho expecting for a rain shower to nourish his field of corn. He is confident that his harvest is going to yield him huge profits just like it does every year. To his utmost excitement, rainfall did happen but sooner, it turned into a hailstorm destroying his entire crop field. The damage posed a threat to the family's survival as their entire livelihood was dependent on the year's produce. Although disheartened, the family had robust belief in the almighty. Lencho, despite having worked day and night at the field, knew how to write and thus, decided to write a letter to God explaining his situation and asking for help. He went to town to post his letter addressed "To God". The letter on being noticed by the postmaster, at first amused him, but then motivated him want to do something for the farmer so as to keep his immense belief intact. He contributes from his salary and collects money from his colleagues and friends who willingly contributed for an act of charity. To his dismay, he could only collect 70 pesos which he wrapped in an envelope to make it seem like a reply from the deity. On having found the letter, the writer (Lencho) is not at all shocked, but instead, he gets angry on finding that the amount is less than what he had expected. He again writes a letter to God conveying his disappointment and distrust in the employees of the post office who he thought had stolen the remaining amount.
