Why does the postmaster send money to Lencho? Why does he sign the letter 'God'?

Model Answer

The postmaster sends money because Lencho’s heartfelt letter, filled with unwavering faith after his crops are destroyed, deeply moves him and his colleagues. Although they cannot match the full amount Lencho requested, they pool what they have to help him. By signing the letter "God," the postmaster symbolically acknowledges Lencho’s belief that only divine intervention can provide for his needs, while also playfully suggesting that their collective act of kindness is, in a way, a human answer to his prayer.
