Summary
Highlights
Lencho, a dedicated farmer, hoped for a good harvest, but a sudden hailstorm destroyed all his crops, leaving him sad. However, his strong faith in God led him to believe God would help him.
Being literate, Lencho decided to write a letter to God, requesting 100 pesos to re-sow his field and prevent his family from starving. He mailed the letter at the post office.
The story, written by G.L. Fuentes, centers on Lencho, a poor and simple-minded farmer, and his firm faith in God.
The postman and postmaster found Lencho's letter to God amusing but were deeply moved by his faith. To preserve Lencho's belief, the postmaster and his employees collectively contributed money, including a portion of his own salary.
The following Sunday, Lencho received the envelope. He was not surprised, but upon counting the money, he became angry as it was only 70 pesos instead of the 100 he requested. He believed God could not have made such a mistake.
Lencho immediately wrote another letter to God, complaining about receiving only 70 pesos. He accused the post office employees of stealing the remaining 30 pesos and requested God to send the rest directly, not through the mail, as he believed the employees were 'a bunch of crooks'.
