Class 10- A Letter to God by G.L G.L Fuenteus

Summary of the Story

The Struggle: Lencho, a hardworking farmer, loses his entire corn harvest due to a devastating hailstorm.

The Faith: Desperate but hopeful, he writes a letter to God asking for 100 pesos to feed his family and replant his crops.

The Assistance: The kind-hearted postmaster and his employees are moved by Lencho’s faith and decide to collect money among themselves to help him.

The Deficit: They manage to raise 70 pesos, which they send to Lencho in an envelope signed "God."

The Irony: When Lencho receives the money, he is not grateful; he gets angry because the amount is short.

The Conclusion: He writes a second letter to God, asking for the remaining 30 pesos, but warns Him not to send it through the mail because he suspects the post office staff are "a bunch of crooks."
