Write the story of lencho

Answer 1

‘A letter to God’ is a story of extreme faith in god. The writer had tried to depict the faith of a poor and simple farmer in god. Lencho was an honest and  hard working farmer . Once there was a hailstorm. It destroyed his crop completely. Lencho had great faith to God. He asked God to send him money. The postmaster saw the letter. He decided to help Lencho. 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

Character sketch of Lencho is as follows :

Lencho was a farmer. He was not so poor and not so rich farmer. He was having a great faith in God. This we came to know from his letter addressed to God. He did so for the compensation of his crops. Actually the hail stones destroyed his crops and he thought that now his family would starve throughout the whole year. But he was very religious person, so he decided to ask the God for his help. In his letter to God he asked the God for 100 pesos. But his letter was not reached to God. It were the post office employees who sent the 70 pesos for help. And Lencho called the post office employees as “a bunch of crooks”. While they helped him. Because of this we can say that Lencho was a foolish person too (in the sense of innocence).
