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.

3.

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.

4.

Imagine you are the farmer in the story, ‘A Letter to God’. Write a diary entry about your feelings when the hailstorm struck and destroyed the crops. Also write about your possible future plans.

Answer»

17th August, 2015.

It all began with the big raindrops pouring from the sky as I had predicted. They appeared to me like new coins. I felt that my prayers were being answered. But, suddenly the monsoon breeze turned into a deadly storm with hailstones falling from the sky. Everything was covered with a white layer and neither a leaf nor a flower remained. My entire cornfield was destroyed. I think this year we may go hungry. But, I cannot let this happen to my family. I will visit the city for a few days and see if I can find some work. 

I have to think of all the possible ways to earn money. I should go to factories and ask for some labor job; I could also attempt to find a job in big grocery stores or malls in the city. I am sure I will fit in somewhere. If nothing works I will take a loan from the bank and use it to sow seeds for a new crop. I hope God helps me in this troubled time.
