Question

Whom did Lencho call a bunch of crooks and why ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lencho called the post office employees "a bunch of crooks" because he thought that they have taken half of the money which God had send to him. Lencho became sad when he didn't receive the total amount of money in the envelope. He hoped that God will be there to help him.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lencho refers to the individuals that work at the post office as a "bunch of crooks."

Explanation:

• In "A Letter to God" written by G.L. Fuentes, the main character, Lencho, is a farmer whose crop fails due to the excessive amount of rain that has been falling.
• His sole ray of hope lies in receiving assistance from God, so he composes a letter to the almighty and begs him to send him a money order that contains the funds necessary for him to provide for his family.
• This letter is read by the Postmaster at the post office, who sympathises with Lencho's predicament and admires his lack of self-awareness and sophistication. Lencho receives some cash in the mail in an envelope from the Postmaster.
• Since Lencho does not realise that the money was sent by the Postmaster and not by God, he is dissatisfied because he did not receive the total amount that he requested.
• His accusation that the employees at the post office are "a bunch of crooks" stems from his conviction that they stole some of the money that God had sent him.
