A Letter to God

Summary
 The story, "A Letter to God" by G.L. Fuentes depicts unwavering faith of
a farmer in God.
 It begins with a farmer, named Lencho expecting for a rain shower to
nourish his field of corn.
 He is confident that his harvest is going to yield him huge profits just like
it does every year.
 To his utmost excitement, rainfall did happen but sooner, it turned into a
hailstorm destroying his entire crop field.
 The damage posed a threat to the family's survival as their entire
livelihood was dependent on the year's produce.
 Although disheartened, the family had robust belief in the almighty.
Lencho, despite having worked day and night at the field, knew how to
write and thus, decided to write a letter to God explaining his situation
and asking for help.
 He went to town to post his letter addressed "To God".
 The letter on being noticed by the postmaster, at first amused him, but
then motivated him want to do something for the farmer so as to keep his
immense belief intact.
 He contributes from his salary and collects money from his colleagues
and friends who willingly contributed for an act of charity.
 To his dismay, he could only collect 70 pesos which he wrapped in an
envelope to make it seem like a reply from the deity.
 On having found the letter, the writer (Lencho) is not at all shocked, but
instead, he gets angry on finding that the amount is less than what he had
expected.
 He again writes a letter to God conveying his disappointment and distrust
in the employees of the post office who he thought had stolen the
remaining amount.
