So, in order not to shake the writer's faith in God, the postmaster came up with an idea to answer the letter. But when he opened it, was evident that to answer it, he needed something more than goodwill, ink and paper. But he stuck to his resolution: he asked for money from his employees, he himself gave part of his salary, and several friends of his were obliged to give something 'for an act of charity'. It was impossible for him to gather together the hundred pesos, so he was able to send the farmer only a little more than half.
How did the postmaster try to help the writer of the letter?

Text Solution

The postmaster was a wise man. He realised that the writer of the letter needed more than kind words. He needed some solid help too. So he donated a part of his salary and asked several of his friends to do so. He coudn.t collect the hundred pesos but he was successful in sending a little more than half to the farmer.
