Summary
A letter to God
Lencho had his lonely house in the valley. It was situated on the top of a low hill. For there one could see the river and the fields. Lencho had a good crop. But it needed rains badly.
Lencho saw the sky in the north. It had rain clouds. His wife was preparing dinner. He told her that God willing it would rain. Soon big drops of rain began to fall. Lencho went out to feel the rain on his body. He was very glad. He said that the drops of rain were new coins.
But soon the hail rained everywhere. The field became white as if covered with salt. The crop was totally destroyed. Lencho became sad. He felt that they would go hungry that year. They would have no seeds for the next crop.
But Lencho had a single hope: help from God. He was sure that no one dies of hunger. He had a great belief in God. The following Sunday he went to the post office. He wrote a letter to God to send him one hundred pesos. He wrote “God” as the address.
An employee of the post office showed this latter to the postmaster. The postmaster laughed seeing the address. He wished to have such faith in God. He had an idea: answer the letter. But reading it he found that the writer needs money. It was to keep the faith of the writer. So he asked all his friends and employees to give some money.
The postmaster could collect only seventy pesos. He put the money in an envelope and addressed it to Lencho. He wrote a single word on it ‘God’ as a signature.
The following Sunday Lencho came to the post office. He asked if there was any letter for him. He was given the letter. Lencho did not show any surprise on seeing the money. He got angry when he counted the money. God could not have made a mistake.
Immediately Lencho wrote another letter to God. He put it into the mailbox. The postmaster opened it. Lencho had written in that letter that he had received only seventy pesos. But he had asked for one hundred pesos. He asked God to sent him the rest. But God should not send it through the mail. It was because the post office employees were crooks.
