This beautiful story, written by G. L. Fuentes, highlights the power of faith and the goodness of human nature.
The story revolves around a poor farmer named Lencho, whose crops are destroyed by a hailstorm. Despite his loss, he writes a letter to God asking for help, showing his unshakable faith. The postmaster, moved by his innocence, collects money from his colleagues and sends it to Lencho as “God’s reply.”
However, Lencho, on receiving less money than he asked for, believes that some post office employees must have stolen the rest. His blind faith becomes a mix of devotion and misunderstanding.
The story beautifully teaches that faith gives hope, and kindness unites humanity. It reminds us that true belief should come with gratitude and understanding, not doubt.
