Imagine that there was good rain instead of a hailstorm in the village. Give a different ending to the story keeping in mind the character traits of the farmer, Lencho. |

Answer» It was during the meal that, just as Lencho had predicted, big drops of rain began to fall. In the north-east huge mountains of clouds could be seen approaching. The air was fresh and sweet. The man went out to feel the rain on his body, and on his return he exclaimed, “These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins. The big drops are ten cent pieces and the little ones are fives.” With a satisfied expression he regarded the field of ripe corn with its flowers, draped in a curtain of rain. Lencho and his family were very happy to see the rain. They were rejoicing with happiness and dreams of leading a good life that year. The next morning when Lencho woke up, the first thing he wanted to see was his corn field. It was the most delightful sight to see his corn swaying to and fro in the cool breeze. “In a few weeks the crop would be ready for harvesting” he thought to himself. Lencho sold his crop at a good amount and decided to buy gifts for his family. Lencho wrote a letter to thank God and asked Him to continue to bless him and his family with another year of abundant crop. He then put the letter in an envelope and wrote ‘To God’ on it. He went to town the next day and personally put the letter in the mailbox. The letter was received by a post man. When he saw the letter addressed to God, he immediately took it to the post master and the postman and postmaster laughed out heartily reading the letter and decided to write back to Lencho on behalf of God. The following week, Lencho went to the post office. On opening the letter, he was overwhelmed to receive a letter from God. The letter said: Bless You. And underneath was a signature: God. |
