Answer» In the story Lencho decides to write a letter to God. If I were in Lencho’s place I would certainly not write a letter to God. Instead I would look at other options which include: i. I would find some other work in the village and collect some money to buy more seeds to sow in the field again. ii. I would go up to the town’s municipal office and ask for compensation from the government. iii. I would take loan from friends to sow seeds and extra money to pull my family through the drought until the crops grew again. iv. I would migrate to a nearby city leaving my family in the village, to find some work at construction sites or factories until I had gathered enough money to survive. Instead of writing a letter to God, Lencho could go to his church and put a petition in the box so that everyone would pray from him and his family. He could also talk to the priest if the church could offer him some money from their charity account. |
