CHAPTER 1: A LETTER TO GOD By G.L.Fuentes\uf0d8 Lencho was a farmer, his house was the only house in the valley and on top of a hill.\uf0d8 Lencho\'s fields needed rain for a good harvest.\uf0d8 He looked expectantly at the sky and it did rain at last .\uf0d8 The drops of rain were like the coins for him, which would help him reap a good harvest and earn some money for his family.\uf0d8 But his happiness was short lived as very large hailstones began to fall after the rain and destroyed his crop.\uf0d8 There was a single hope -help from God, On the following Sunday ,he wrote a letter to God.\uf0d8 He needed a hundred pesos to sow his fields again and to live until the new crop came.\uf0d8 He wrote \'To God \' on the envelope and put the letter into the mail box.\uf0d8 The postman laughed heartily and took it to the postmaster ,the postmaster laughed too but soon he became serious.\uf0d8 He decided to reply the letter and help Lencho, as he did not want Lencho to lose faith in God.\uf0d8 Postmaster could collect seventy pesos only, from his employees and he himself also contributed a part of his salary.\uf0d8 He put the money in an envelope and posted it to Lencho.\uf0d8 Lencho was happy but not at all surprised when he received the money because he had an unbroken faith in God .\uf0d8 His happiness turned into anger as there were only seventy pesos instead of hundred pesos .\uf0d8 Lencho could never believe that God could ever deceive him .\uf0d8 So, he wrote another letter to God reminding him that he received only 70 pesos sent by him\uf0d8 He asked God not to send the rest of 30 pesos through the mail as the post office employees were a \' bunch of crooks.1.
