Answer 2

The answers are mentioned below-

1. In the above extract, 'he' is referred to as Lencho, who was a farmer. He used to grow and cultivate corn. He dwelled with his valley in a small house located at the crest of a hill. That was the only house located in the entire valley.

2. The letter was written to the almighty God by Lencho. Lencho was a  true believer and he knew that he will be helped by God. He had his faith in the Omnipotent God.

3. Lencho had a family and they were all dependent on Lencho as he was the bread earner of the family. The crops of Lencho suffered a destroying hailstorm. He required immediate help. He had no money to feed his wife and children. He wrote God a letter, mentioning his poverty-stricken condition. He was hoping for a hand of help from God himself. He wanted 100 pesos so that he could provide food to his family.

4. Lencho was a hard-working man but he suffered an unfortunate condition and was in the grip of poverty. He could have thought realistically and could go for other ways to earn money and provide food to his family, instead he was waiting for someone who would help him to get out of that condition.
