The story, ‘A Letter to God’ illustrates human values in different ways. In the context of the postmaster helping Lencho, write a brief paragraph depicting the values involved in the story in about 150-200 words.

Answer»

When the postmaster receives the letter, he does not know Lencho. Only to retain Lencho’s faith in God, he decides to write to him. When he opens the letter he gets to know that Lencho doesn’t need just kind words, but also needs money. Nevertheless, the post master sticks to his decision of writing to Lencho and also sends him the money. The human values of generosity, kindness are depicted here. When the post master narrates the farmer’s misfortune to his employees and asks them to contribute in the name of charity, they honor his request. The values of respect for authority and concern are depicted here. The employees respect the postmaster and are concerned about the farmer’s problems. Hence, the story teaches us to be kind and helpful. Sometimes one has to go out of his/her way to help somebody. It also teaches us values of integrity, which is illustrated by the postmaster’s behavior. He could have very well ignored the mail after knowing that the writer needed money. But he wants to keep the resolution made to himself. Therefore, sends the letter along with the money.
