Question

Thinking about the Text
1. Who does Lencho have complete faith in? Which sentences in the story tell
you this?
2. Why does the postmaster send money to Lencho? Why does he sign the
letter God?
3. Did Lencho try to find out who had sent the money to him? Why/Why not?
4. Who does Lencho think has taken the rest of the money? What is the irony
in the situation? (Remember that the irony of a situation is an unexpected
aspect of it. An ironic situation is strange or amusing because it is the
opposite of what is expected.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lencho had complete faith in God. The following sentences in the text shows this:

“God,” he wrote, “if you don’t help me, my family and I will go hungry this year.”

He wrote ‘To God’ on the envelope, put the letter inside and, still troubled, went to town.

God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested.
