How did the hailstones affect Lencho’s fields? What was Lencho’s only hope? |

Answer» As Lencho had predicted, it rained that night. Huge clouds were seen approaching from the north-east direction. Lencho was very happy; just as he went out in the fields to enjoy the raindrops over his body, strong winds started to blow. Along with the raindrops, big hailstones fell from the sky. The hailstones looked like big silver coins. In an hour’s time the entire valley was covered with the hailstones. The field looked as white as salt. Neither a leaf remained on the trees nor a flower on the plants. The hailstorm destroyed the entire corn crop leaving Lencho in a state of misery and helplessness. In this situation of crisis, his only hope was the help from God. He believed in God and was taught that God can see everything; even a person’s deepest desires. He was sure that God would not let him and his family be hungry. |
