About The Poet | Chapter 1 A Letter to God

INTRODUCTION

Written by G.L. Fuentes, ‘A Letter to God’ is a amusing yet lovable story which highlights the theme of faith and explores how people like Lencho can respond when driven by it. The innocent and childlike Lencho is the main character, who decides to write a letter to God in order to ask for money to tide him over, since a severe hailstorm had devastated his crops. This is a story of surprising twists. Equally interesting is the response of the postmaster who is moved by the deep and simple faith of the farmer and arranges some money for him by way of donations from the employees, though it is less than what Lencho had asked for. Amusingly, he signs himself as ‘God’. The story takes another surprising turn when Lencho writes to God, yet again and complains about the dishonest employees of the post office, who he assumes must have pocketed the missing money for he is convinced that God couldn’t have sent him half the amount he had asked for.

Short Summary Of Chapter 1 A Letter to God

SUMMARY

Written by G L Fuentes, A Letter to God’ is a story about the great faith of a simple farmer in God. The story begins with Lencho who is hoping for rains, so that his crops would give a better yield. The rain does come with a devastating hailstorm which destroys the standing corn crop and leaves Lencho staring into a bleak future. Lencho is a strong believer in God so he decides to write a letter to the God, asking for some money. On seeing Lencho’s letter, the postmaster is amused and later, deeply moved by Lencho’s deep faith in God. The postmaster collects money from his colleagues and sends some money to Lencho. But the money sent by the postmaster falls short. Nevertheless, the postmaster sends 70 pesos to Lencho. He once again writes a letter to the God in which he expresses his doubts about the honesty of the post office employees.

TITLE JUSTIFICATION

TITLE JUSTIFICATION

The title, ‘A Letter to God’ arouses the reader’s interest as the idea of someone sending a letter to God is quite intriguing. The interest is sustained and even heightened on reading the story of how Lencho, the main character appeals to God for monetary help through a letter. It is not so much about the actual letter but the unquestioning faith of a naïve man in the benign power of the almighty. Hence the title is suitable as it is the letter that reveals the character of Lencho and also makes the story unfold.

THEME

 THEME

The main theme of the story is faith. The author also delicately poses the question – Is Lencho’s unquestioning faith in God appropriate? He is very faithful in his prayer to God asking for the one hundred pesos that he needs. Is Lencho innocent and childlike or naïve and an ignorant simpleton? God answers his prayers through the post office clerks, who sympathize with the farmer and donate the money. However, they are only able to collect 70 pesos. The faith of Lencho is such that he cannot imagine that it could not have been God who cheated him. Ironically, he assumes that the officials are dishonest and writes another letter instructing God to refrain from sending the money through the post office.

MESSAGE

MESSAGE
The message conveyed through this interesting story is that while faith is one’s spiritual need, one should be realistic and rational. Unquestioning and irrational faith like Lencho’s can make such people highly vulnerable. In the story, a comic end is achieved due to the good intentions of the post office employees. However, the situation could have been totally different, even dangerous, if the letter had been found by a bunch of crooks who may have exploited Lencho’s gullibility to their advantage.

CHARACTER SCATCH

CHARACTER SKETCH

  1. Lencho

Lencho was a diligent farmer. He had grown corn in his field and was waiting for rains anxiously. He was very happy when the rain finally came but it later turned to worry as the rain became a hailstorm and destroyed his fields. He had deep faith in God and despite the destruction of his crop, he was hopeful that everything would be all right. Although Lencho was strong like an ox and worked hard in the field, his faith in God prompted him to write a letter to God. He asked for hundred pesos from God and was certain that he would receive the amount. When he received only a little more than half, he again wrote to God asking for the remaining money and accused the postal department for stealing money. This shows that undoubtedly Lencho was a religious man. At the same time he was naïve, and had the unquestioning and unrealistic faith in God.

  1. The Postmaster

The postmaster proves to be a truly sensitive and generous person. His first reaction to Lencho’s letter to God is of amusement but later he can’t help appreciating the deep and simple albeit, naïve faith of the poor farmer. He even goes out of his way to help Lencho by collecting from his subordinates a little more than half the amount that Lencho had requested from God. However, his help never came in the knowledge of Lencho. Quite ironically, Lencho in his second letter to God, expressed his suspicion about the honesty of the post office employees, the postmaster included and begged God not to route the money through them. Sadly, the kindness and generosity of the postmaster’s efforts remained unknown and unappreciated by Lencho.

He was very happy when the rain finally came but it later turned to worry as the rain became a hailstorm and destroyed his fields. He had deep faith in God and despite the destruction of his crop. he was hopeful that everything would be all right.

write a letter to God. He asked for hundred pesos from God and was certain that he would receive the amount. When he received only a little more than half, he again wrote to God asking for the remaining money and accused the postal department for stealing money. This shows that undoubtedly Lencho was a religious man. At the same time he was naïve, unquestioning and unrealistic also and it shows traces of greediness when he did not receive the amount he had asked from God.

  1. Lencho had deep and unquestioning faith in God. Comment.

Ans. Lencho was a poor farmer. He had firm faith in the almighty God. His firm faith can be proved with the help of following evidence.

Once, a hailstorm destroyed the crops of Lencho and left nothing. There was no one in the valley to help him and support his family. As he had firm faith in God he wrote a letter addressing to God. He asked the God for 100 pesos so as to sow the field again and feed his family that year. He sought the money to save his family as well as himself from starving. In the letter, Lencho described his plight at the destruction caused to his crops by the hailstorm. He went to the city and mailed the letter through the post office. Thus his action proves his unwavering conviction that God would help him.

  1. Describe the character of Lencho in the light of his faith and attitude towards God and Man?

Ans. Lencho was a poor, hard-working farmer. His crops were destroyed completely because of hailstorm. He became hopeless because he did not have even a penny, so he feared that his family would have to starve that year.

Lencho was a simple person with firm faith in God. He hoped that God would help him and make sure that he and his family would not starve. He went to the post office and wrote an appealing letter with confidence to God for help and addressed it to “God”. In the opinion of Lencho, unlike God, men could dishonest and deceitful. After receiving the money donated by post office employees at the behest of the postmaster, he was angry and wrote to God yet again and complained about the dishonest employees. ‘bunch of crooks’, of the post office, who he assumed must have pocketed the missing money for he was convinced that the good God couldn’t have sent him half the amount he had asked for. 

  1. The reactions of Lencho are influenced by his beliefs Discuss.

Ans. In the story, the character of Lencho is seen as behaving in response to his circumstances and his own beliefs. The story begins with Lencho who hopes for rains, so that his crops would give a better yield. The rain does come with a devastating hailstorm which destroys the standing corn crop and leaves Lencho staring into a bleak future. Lencho is a staunch believer in God so he decides to write a letter to the God, asking for some money. Lencho also promises to repay the debt when the next crop would give him enough money. On seeing Lencho’s letter, the postmaster is amused and later, deeply moved by Lencho’s deep faith in God. He collects money from his colleagues and sends the entire collection of 70 pesos to Lencho. Lencho, quite angry, once again writes a letter to God in which he expresses his doubts about the honesty of the post office employees and requests God to send him the rest but not through the post office employees.

  1. Lencho’s character embodies both simplicity and stupidity. Discuss.

Ans. Lencho’s reactions were prompted by deep faith in the almighty. It is indeed true that faith can move mountains and gives man the spiritual strength to take on the ups and downs of life. When circumstances are adverse faith in the almighty keeps a man going and hoping for relief and succour. At the same time one has to admit that excess of anything is bad. Lencho is so dependent on God for help, that he stops relying on his own resources and inner powers.

Unquestioning and irrational faith makes Lencho appear as a ridiculous figure. He takes his faith to unrealistic extent and pins all his faith on God’s help. It is wisely said that too much of anything is bad. Wisdom lies in moderation and balance. Thus his character simultaneously combines the qualities of simplicity and stupidity.

  1. The story questions the popular belief that goodness is always rewarded. Discuss with reference to the story.

Ans. The story questions the belief that goodness is always rewarded. The truth of this observation is amply substantiated by G.L. Fuentes through the character of the postmaster. The postmaster proves to be a truly sensitive and generous person. His first reaction to Lencho’s letter to God is of amusement but later he can’t help appreciating the simple and deep, albeit, naïve faith of the poor farmer. He even goes out of his way to help Lencho by collecting from his subordinates 70 pesos that Lencho had requested from God. However the postmaster’s good deed never came to the knowledge of Lencho. Quite ironically Lencho, in his second letter to God, expressed his suspicion about the honesty of the post office employees, the postmaster included, and begged God not to route the money through them. Unfortunately, the kindness and generosity of the postmaster’s efforts remained unknown and unappreciated by Lencho. Thus it seems that life is quite unpredictable and good deeds, contrary to man’s expectation, may even go unrewarded. 

  1. Though the story is simple, it is not without its moments of humor. Discuss with reference to the chapter.

Ans. Though the story is a simple one with a message about the value of deep faith in God, but it is not without its moments of humor. In the story, Lencho puts in a great deal of hard work and manages to grow a crop of corn. He only needs rain to keep starvation at bay. Instead, what he gets is a hailstorm which flattens his ripe crop of corn. His plea to God for money is fulfilled by the postmaster and his subordinates who donate money to help Lencho in his hour of need. Lencho quite humorously, assumes that the officials are dishonest and have pocketed the 30 pesos and writes another letter comically instructing God to refrain from sending the money through the post office. Lencho comically assume the post office people who bailed him out to be a ‘bunch of crooks’. The simpleton in Lencho creates humor in the story.
