A Letter to God Extra Questions


Q. “These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins.” What made Lencho say this?

Ans. Lencho said the raindrops were like new coins because as expected by him a good rain would yield a good harvest, and a good harvest would fetch him good money. With immense joy, he likened the big drops of rain to ten cent piece and the small ones to five.

Q. What happened to Lencho’s field when the rain turned into a hailstorm?

Ans. When all of a sudden, a strong wind began to blow, large hailstones began to fall along with rain. Without prior warning the pleasant rain had turned into a malicious hailstorm, which wreaked havoc on Lencho’s field. Very soon the entire field was covered in hailstones, and crops, flowers, leaves on the trees, nothing remained.

Q. What did Lencho decide to do after the hailstorm? Why did he do it?

Ans. After the hailstorm Lencho wrote a letter to God asking Him to send hundred pesos so as to sow his field again and live until the crop came. The hailstorm had left nothing of the harvest, which Lencho could sell in the market and get some money. The thought of the whole family going hungry throughout the year scared Lencho and his wife. But they had full faith in God, and firmly believed that if anyone could save them from their misery, it was God.

Q. Who read the letter and what was his reaction? What did he do?

Ans. A postman, seeing that the letter was addressed to God, brought it to the postmaster who read it and gave a hearty laugh. Realising that the person who wrote the letter had full faith in God, and it would not be right to prove him wrong, the postmaster took it upon himself to collect the sum of money Lencho asked for in the in the letter to God.

Q. What was Lencho’s reaction after receiving God’s reply? What did he do? 

Ans. Lencho was not at all surprised that God replied to his letter. In fact, he was sure that He would reply. However, when he opened the letter and counted the money, he found that it was not the full amount that he had asked for. This made Lencho very angry. Lencho wrote another letter to God and asked Him to send the remaining amount immediately. He also requested God not to send it through the mail because the post office employees were not reliable people.

    Yes , as if we see from lencho’s point of view he was justified in calling the post office employees ‘a bunch of crooks’.
    In the world today there are such peoples who take up any other’s commodities without caring that what will that mean to the real owner.And so was lencho’s feeling , when he saw just 70 pesos instead of 100 in the envelope. He was so firm in his believe that according to him god wouldn’t have made such a mistake.

    The answer to the question is in two folds.
    Lencho was a man of great faith and devotion. He had so much confidence in God so he naturally thought that God couldn’t have given him just 70 pesos when he had asked for a hundred pesos. His extreme devotion and innocence led him to believe that the post office employees had stolen the money that God had sent for him. Whereas, in reality it was the post office employees who had sent him the 70 pesos in the first place.
    But from a logical perspective, we could argue that Lencho was so blinded by faith that he was incapable of seeing the selfless compassion of the post office employees who wanted to help him. The fact that he called the post office employees a bunch of crooks, when all they did was try to help him could be a sign of arrogance and narrow mindedness. He also demands The remaining 30 pesos – this act could be interpreted as being entitled, demanding and ungrateful.
