This year we will have no corn.” That night was a sorrowful one. “All our work, for nothing. There’s no one who can help us”. “We’ll all go hungry this year. “But in the hearts of all who lived in that solitary house in the middle of the valley, there was a single hope: help from God) “Don’t be so upset, even though this seems like a total loss.

Short Answer type Questions:-
Question. People get support from family and friends during bad times. How does Lencho’s family behave after the harvest is ruined?
Answer. After the harvest is ruined, Lencho’s family consoles him by saying that no one dies of hunger and that God would take care of them.
Question. Lencho did not bother exploring any other means to resolve his situation but just turned to God) Do you feel that his approach was justified? Why/Why not?
Answer. I do not justify his approach of relying solely on God’s help. It was totally illogical. Sorrow and happiness are two phases of life that everyone must stay prepared to face. Besides, praying to God for his mental calmness he should have approached his relatives for help and worked hard again.
Question. What kind of person do you think Lencho was? Are there people like Lencho in the real world?
Answer. No, I don’t think there can be any person in the real world) Lencho was a farmer and he knew how to write a letter also. This shows us that he was literate but then also he didn’t know how his letter will reach God without any address. He was faithful and had lack of knowledge.
Question. After reaching the post office What steps did he follow to post the letter second time?
Answer. Immediately after reaching the post office Lencho went to the window to ask for paper and ink. paper and ink. Then he started to write the letter by placing it on a public writing table. When he finished, he went to the window to buy a stamp which he licked and then affixed to the envelope with a blow of his fist and put the letter into the mailbox.
Question. What was Lencho’s pride and possession?
Answer. Lencho’s pride and possession was his harvest and his great belief in God) He lived in the solitary house on the crest of a low hill in the valley. From here he culd see the river and field of ripe corn dotted with the flowers that always promised a good harvest. When the hail ruined his crop, his heart was filled with sorrow. But he did not loss hope as he had a great faith in god) He then wrote a letter to god and requested him to send hundred pesos in order to sow his field again. Therefore we can say Lencho’s pride and possession was his harvest and great faith in God)
Question. The field was white as if covered with salt.’ This is how the field is described after the hailstorm. The pelting hailstones could have been easily seen as sugar cubes. Do you think comparing it with sugar would have been more appropriate? Why/ Why not?
Answer. A hailstorm can be compared to small balls of anything that is white in colour. But, here, the comparison to salt is much better than sugar cubes. As sugar symbolises sweetness or happiness, whereas excess salt signifies the spoilt taste. The hailstorm spoiled Lencho’s fields totally that’s why it is said that the field was white as if covered with salt. So, comparing it with sugar would not have been more appropriate.
Question. Lencho and his family knew the implications the hailstorm would have on their lives. Write a conversation between Lencho and his wife as they watched the downpour turn into a hailstorm.
Answer. Conversation between Lencho and his wife – Wife: If this storm does not stop here, we will die of hunger. Lencho: Yes, our hard work will go to waste. It must stop now. Wife; We will have no corn left this year. Lencho: Don’t worry, God can see everything and He will not let us die of hunger. Wife: Let’s hope so. I have heard that no one dies of hunger.
Question. Lencho was an ox of a man, working like an animal in the fields, but still, he knew how to write.’ What does this line tell us about the norm amongst such farmers, then?
Answer. This line tells us that normally the farmers working in the fields are hard-working but uneducated) They can work like ox in the fields. But, Lencho could read and write. He wrote a letter to God for help after the hailstorm destroyed his cornfields.
Question. What, according to you would have been the likely reaction of Lencho’s wife upon knowing about him writing an actual letter to God?
Answer. According to me, she would have been happy knowing that Lencho had informed God about their loss and help would reach them soon. She had a deep faith in God) She believed that no one can die of hunger because God takes care of everyone’s basic needs.
Question. What qualities are reflected in the character of post office employees?
Answer. The employees were kind and helpful. They contributed money to help Lencho who was a total stranger to them. The postmaster's attitude toward helping Lencho is very kind and wonderful. He is a man of good heart who takes the initiative to send money to Lencho.
Long Answer Type Questions:-
Question. The people at the post office contribute to putting together whatever they can manage, for Lencho.
(a) What do you think was the main reason behind their help? Would you have done the same if you were one of the employees?
(b) As an employee, write about your perspective and reason(s) for contributing to the fund) The fact that you don’t want to say ‘no’ to a cause initiated by your boss, can also be an equally compelling reason!
Answer. (a)The main reason behind their help could be empathy. If I were in the place of one of the employees I would have definitely helped Lencho by giving out some money. “Many a little makes a mickle”. One rupee donated by 100 people would make up to 100 rupees without making much difference to the donor. However, it would be a big help for the donee.
(b) Of course, an employee can’t say ‘no’ to a helping deed initiated by his/her boss. But, as an employee, I consider it right to help a distressed person. It is the moral duty of every human to help a needy person. You never know, maybe, it’s your turn next time. I believe that ‘Charity always begins at home.
Question. Read the given anecdote and analyse the similarities and differences with reference to ‘A Letter to God’.
A very poor woman called a radio station asking for help from God) A non-believer in God, also listening to this radio program, decided to make fun of the woman. He got her address, called his secretary and ordered her to buy food and take it to the woman. However, the instruction was: “When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it’s from the devil.” When the secretary arrived at the woman’s house, the woman was very happy and grateful for the help. The Secretary then asked her, ”Don’t you want to know who sent the food?” The woman replied, ”No, I don’t even care because when God orders, even the devil obeys!
Answer. The given anecdote is similar to the lesson- ‘A letter to God’ in the following ways- Both Lencho and the woman in the story believed blindly in God) Just like Lencho did not try any other source, the woman also waited patiently for God’s help. The two stories verify that God listens to the people, by any means, who trust him. The two stories stand apart in the following manner- The woman in the story was helped with the intention of ridicule. Whereas the postmaster tried to help Lencho to sustain his belief in God) The woman felt grateful for getting the help. Lencho, on the opposite, started yelling at the postmaster. The intentions of the people helping the victim are different in both stories. The man in the above story wanted to shake the woman’s belief in God by sending help as a devil. On the contrary, the postmaster collected helped Lencho to keep intact his faith in God)
Question. The postmaster was a representative of God) Evaluate this statement in the context of your understanding of ‘A Letter to God”.
Answer. The postmaster is rightly depicted as a representative of God because he managed to collect money for Lencho who was helpless at that time. It is believed that God can’t be physically present everywhere to help his children, so He sends help through his messengers. People believe that He relieves their sufferings through his representatives. He can be understood as representative of God as he made efforts to Lencho’s prayers which were addressed to God) He even replied to Lencho’s letter on behalf of God so that his belief in God is not shaken. Though the postmaster was a human being, his helping action can be compared to the representative of God)
