Do you think he is right in asking God for support and then blaming the people at the post office? Discuss his actions with your friends. Why does he do so?

Explanation

Lencho had unshakable and firm faith in God. It was his faith in God that made him write a letter to God asking for one hundred pesos as help from him. It was the postmaster who did not want that his faith should get shattered. He helped him by sending seventy pesos which he and other post office employees had contributed. On the other hand, when Lencho found thirty less pesos in the envelope, he blamed the post office employees and called them a bunch of crooks. One might think that it was not right on his part to have said so, but he was so innocent that he was expecting a reply from God. He knew nothing about the help from post office employees. For him, his letter had been answered by God and that is why he was upset and wrote another letter to God.
