A LETTER TO GOD
A LITTLE ABOUT THE CHAPTER
The story "A Letter To God" is written by G.L. Huentes. This story talks about a farmer named Lencho who was waiting for rain to harvest his crops. But unfortunately the rain was followed by a hailstorm which destroyed his entire crop field. However Lencho didn't lose hope and asked God to help him.
SUMMARY
Lencho was a farmer who lived on the top of a low hill along with his family. His corn field needed a final rainfall before harvest. Since morning Lencho was eagerly waiting for a downpour. Lencho felt contended when it began to rain. He considered the rainfall as the new coins. But suddenly a strong wind began to blow followed by the falling of large hailstones. Lencho was waiting for the weather to recover quickly but the hail rained for an hour. The trees became leafless. The flowers were detached from the plants. The corn field was completely destroyed. The field looked white as if it was covered by salt. Lencho's soul turned sad seeing the plight of his field. That was a sorrowful night for Lencho's family. All their efforts had gone in vain. But they had the belief that God wouldn't let them die of hunger. He went to the post office the next and wrote a letter to God telling him how his corn field was destroyed. He asked God to help him by sending him hundred pesos. The postman showed Lencho's letter to the postmaster and both of them laughed heartily. The postmaster decided to help Lencho. He collected money from his employees, his friends and also gave a part of his salary. However he was unable to arrange hundred pesos. He managed to collect seventy pesos, put it in an envelope with a letter containing only one word as a signature: God.
Lencho came earlier than the usual time the next Sunday and asked if there was a letter for him. Postman handed him the letter while postmaster watched all this with a feeling of contentment of having done a good deed. Lencho was so confident that God would help him that he didn't show slightest sign of surprise on receiving the money. But he became angry when he counted the money. He knew God couldn't make a mistake nor He could deny him what he had asked for. Lencho immediately went up to the window to ask for pen and paper and wrote another letter God. The postmaster went to open the letter as soon as Lencho dropped it in the mailbox. Lencho had written that he had received only seventy pesos and had asked God to send him the rest of the money. He had further asked God not to send the money through the post office as the employees of the post office were a bunch of crooks and they would steal his money.
