He collected some money. He put it inside the envelope. Lencho came to the post office to check his mail. The post office people gave him the envelope. Lencho opened the envelope. He took out the money and counted it. He found that it was less than he had asked for. He wrote another letter to God. He asked God to send him  rest of the money. But he wanted God not to send the money through the mail. He considered them a bunch of crooks who had stolen thirty pesos from the hundred pesos sent by God.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In the lesson “a Letter to God”, the irony is that Lencho's field is destroyed due to a hailstorm and his family and he have no food for the rest of the year.

Because, of his immense faith in God, he writes a letter to God beseeching him that God send him a hundred pesos, so that he can sow his land again.

This is read by the post officer. He and his staff collects 70 pesos and give it to lencho.

But lencho considered them to be theives.
