Question
- Why did the postmaster and his employees decide to help Lencho? Was theireffort appreciated by the receiver of that help?
Solution
The question seems to be referring to the story "A Letter to God" by G.L. Fuentes.
-
The postmaster and his employees decided to help Lencho because they were moved by his faith in God. In the story, Lencho, a poor farmer, loses his crop in a hailstorm and writes a letter to God asking for help. The postmaster, upon reading the letter, is touched by Lencho's unwavering faith and decides to help him. He and his employees collect money to send to Lencho.
-
Their effort, however, was not appreciated by Lencho. When Lencho receives the money, he notices that it is less than what he asked for in his letter to God. He believes that the post office employees have taken the rest of the money. Unaware that it was the postmaster and his employees who sent the money, Lencho's faith in them is shattered and he writes another letter to God, complaining about the dishonesty of the post office employees.
