    A LETTER TO GOD

    1. What were trenches feelings when he found the letter with


    money in it? What did he do after opening the letter?
    Answer: Lencho was not at all surprised to see the money in the
    letter as he was fully confident about it. He knew that God would
    send money to him. On opening the letter he found seventy
    pesos instead of a hundred. So, he wrote another letter to God to
    send and rest of the amount but now not through the mail as the
    post office employees were crooks.
    2. Whom did Lencho write a letter? What did he ask for?
    Answer: When Lencho’s annual crop was completely destroyed
    due to heavy rains and hailstorms and there was no one to help
    hint during the crisis. At that time Lencho wrote a letter to God.
    He wrote the letter requesting him to send 100 pesos so that he
    could sow his fields again till the next crop.

    3. Why does the postmaster send money to Lencho? Why


    does he sign the letter ‘God’?

    Answer: The postmaster was a kind, generous, helpful and God-


    fearing man. When he received the letter written to God asking
    for 100 pesos, he felt sympathetic towards Lencho. Hence, he
    decided to help Lencho. He gave a part of his salary and asked
    other employees to help. He signed the letter ‘God’ in order to
    preserve the man’s faith in God.

    4. How far would you agree that one’s positivity can bring in
    a spark of brightness even in adverse circumstances’?
    Answer: It is absolutely true that optimism can bring about a
    spark of brightness even in adverse situations. It was Lencho’s
    innocent optimism that eventually led to his getting seventy
    pesos. In fact, it was his positivity despite the hailstorm that he
    even wrote a letter to God in the first place. His hope finally
    triumphed.

    5. Was Lencho surprised to find a letter with money in it?


    Why/Why not?

    Answer: Lencho was not at all surprised to receive an envelope


    with money in it because he had utter faith in God. His
    unshakeable faith gave him firm confidence.

    6. What impression do you form of the postmaster after


    reading the story ‘A Letter to God’?

    Answer: The postmaster was a kind, generous, helpful, amiable


    and God-fearing man. He was generous, as he helped Lencho with
    70 pesos. He also wrote a reply to Lencho’s letter in order to
    maintain his faith in God.

    7. Why was Lencho angry? What did he do?

    Answer: Lencho had deep faith in God and hence wrote a letter
    to God asking for 100 pesos. But when he received 70 pesos
    instead of 100, he was angry. He wrote another letter to God
    asking him to send the rest of the money, but not through the
    post-office as they were a ‘bunch of crooks’.

    8. Lencho calls the raindrops ‘new coins’. Why does he call


    them so?
    Answer: Lencho hoped to get good crops because of raindrops.
    He thought he would earn good money so he called them new
    coins. But raindrops soon turned into hailstones which destroyed
    all his crops and ruined his hopes.

    9. Why were Lencho and his family in distress? Whom did he


    ask for help?

    Answer: Lencho’s crops were completely destroyed by the


    hailstones. He feared that he and his family would go hungry. He
    had no one to help but he had full faith in God whose eyes see
    everything. He wrote a letter to God asking for a hundred pesos
    to sow the crop and live until the next harvest.

    10. “Now we’re really going to get some water woman.” Is


    Lencho sure that it is going to rain? Give a reason for your
    answer.

    Answer: Yes. Lencho is sure that it is going to rain. He needs rain


    for his crops. He has been gazing at the sky since morning. He has
    perhaps seen some signs of coming rain. True to his prediction. It
    soon starts raining.
