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).
Answers
Lencho thinks that the post office employees have taken the rest of the money as he had demanded a hundred pesos from God and in the letter there was only seventy pesos and God cannot make such a mistake. So, he assumes that they have stolen the money.
The irony in this situation is that Lencho suspects those people who helped him in his problem and tried to keep his faith alive in God.
Answer:
Explanation:
e thought that the post office employees took the rest of the money.
The irony of the situation was that the post office employees were the ones who contributed to the money that was inside the enveloped signed by the postmaster with "God." They gave money with the intent to help Lencho in resowing his fields and providing for his family even though the money they contributed was less than the amount Lencho asked for. Because of the shortage, Lencho thought that the post office employees were the ones who took the missing amount.
