aeroplane but the sky was empty. [The Black Aeroplane]

lowing Sunday, at daybreak he began to write a letter…It was nothing less than a let-
ter to God...The following Sunday Lencho came a bit earlier than usual to ask if there
was a letter for him…. Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the mon-

In "The Black Aeroplane," the character receives help in the form of finding an airport and runway, which allows them to land safely and escape danger. This help is physical and tangible, and is a result of the character's own actions and observations.
In "A Letter to God," the character receives help in the form of money that was sent to him by an unknown sender, after he wrote a letter to God asking for help. This help is more abstract and spiritual, and is a result of the character's faith and belief in God. The character shows unwavering confidence that his letter would be answered and that God would help him.
Both extracts are showing the different nature of help, one is tangible and the other one is intangible. The help in the first extract is due to the circumstances and the character's own actions, while in the second extract, it is due to the character's faith and belief in God.
