Summary of " A Letter to God "

Lencho was a farmer.He lived in the one and only house in the valley with family. He had just 

ploughed the field and was expecting for rain. He could predict by looking at the sky. Very soon they 

were going to have good rain, he told so to his wife. As the family was taking supper, it started 

raining as was expected. Big and small raindrops were down-pouring on the field. Lencho was happy 

and called the rain drops " new coins ". Suddenly the windy rain turned into a storm. Hailstones 

started falling on the field. It destroyed whole of the crop. Not a single leaf  was left. Such was the 

drastic destruction made by the hailstones. Lencho's heart cried on that fatal loss. All his hardwotk 

had gone waste. He was worried of what he would feed to his family the next year. No body was 

there to help him in such critical situation. But he had a great faith in God and His kindness. So he 

resolved to write a letter to God asking for 100 Pesos (currency of Spain). He wrote and put the letter 

in an envelope and wrote "To God' over the envelope. He left for the city post office, reached there, 

pasted a stamp on the envelope and posted it. Soon, the letter was read by the Post master and other 

staff. 

Summary of " A Letter to God "

They laughed on finding a letter written to God. But the post master was a good person. He did 

not want to shake Lencho's faith in God. The post master decided to send 100 Pesos to Lencho. He 

appealed to his staff and other to contribute for that. Finally he could collect only 70 Pesos. He 

wrapped the money in a parcel signed on it as God. Lencho was not at all surprised to find the money 

parcel, it shows how strong was his faith in God. As soon as he opened the parcel, he got angry to 

find 70 Pesos rather than 100 Pesos. He immediately started writing another letter to God. He wrote 

that the post office staff is a bunch of crooks. He complained that he had received only 70 Pesos, and 

the rest of the money (30 Pesos) were kept by the post office staff. He further wrote in the letter that 

God should send him the rest of the money because 70 Pesos were not enough. He also wrote that 

this time God must not send him the rest of the money through post office because the post office 

staff is a bunch of crook and keep the rest of the money.
