MP Board · Class 10 · English · First Flight: A Letter to GodWhy did Lencho write a letter to God? What was his main demand in the letter?

Lencho wrote a letter to God because his entire corn crop was completely destroyed by a devastating hailstorm. He and his family were left with nothing to eat for the coming year and were facing extreme starvation and despair. Possessing profound and unwavering faith in God, he believed that God sees everything, even what is deep in one's conscience, and would never let anyone die of hunger. His main demand in the letter was for a financial assistance of one hundred pesos. He desperately needed this money to sow his fields again to survive until the next harvest grew, and also to sustain his family through the difficult times ahead.
