With, this thought he wrote a letter to God in which he asked God to send some money., First the letter was received at the post-office, the post master read Lencho’s letter, addressed to God. It sounded strange yet seeing the faith of Lencho he and the other, postmen of the post-office extended their hands to help Lencho. They collected some, money which was actually not sufficient and kept the collected sum into an envelope., The next Sunday, Lencho arrived to check whether there was any letter for him. The, master handed over the envelope to him. On opening the envelope he found the cash., But it was less than what he had made a demand for. In an angry mode he wrote, another letter to God.
