Lencho was a farmer. He had the field of ripe corn dotted with the flowers. He hoped for a downpour or at least a shower. He was happy to see huge mountains of clouds.

But suddenly strong wind began to blow with the large hailstones. The hail rained for an hour and the field was white as if covered with salt. The corn was destroyed completely. The hail has left nothing. He did not understand what to do. But he had a great faith in god. He decided to seek help from god. He wrote a letter to god demanding 100 pesos.

When the postman read the letter addressing to god he could not stop himself by laughing. But the post master who was a fat, amiable man decided to help Lencho. He collected 70 pesos from his friends, charity and he himself gave part of his salary.
