Chapter 1, A LETTER TO GOD

~Summary~

 -by GL Fuentes

Lencho’s Hope of Good Harvest

Lencho was a farmer who lived on the crest (peak) of a low hill with his family. His was the only house in the entire valley. His field was full of ripe corn and easily visible from the house. He was eagerly waiting for a good rain to have a good harvest so he could earn money for his family.

लेंचो एक किसान था जो अपने परिवार के साथ एक नीची पहाड़ी की चोटी (चोटी) पर रहता था। पूरी घाटी में उनका ही घर था। उसका खेत पके हुए मकई से भरा हुआ था और घर से आसानी से दिखाई दे रहा था। वह अच्छी फसल के लिए अच्छी बारिश का बेसब्री से इंतजार कर रहा था ताकि वह अपने परिवार के लिए पैसा कमा सके।

Turning of Lencho’s Hope into Despair

As Lencho hoped, it started raining at the time of supper (dinner) which gave Lencho a ray of hope. He was extremely delighted to see that. He compared the raindrops with silver coins which shows his joy. But soon his joy turned into despair as the rain changed into hailstones which ruined the crops. The field had been covered with snow like a layer of white salt. Lencho was worried for his family.

जैसा कि लेंचो को उम्मीद थी, रात के खाने (डिनर) के समय बारिश शुरू हो गई थी जिससे लेंचो को आशा की एक किरण मिली। वह यह देखकर अत्यंत प्रसन्न हुआ। उन्होंने बारिश की बूंदों की तुलना चांदी के सिक्कों से की जो उनके आनंद को दर्शाता है। लेकिन जल्द ही उनकी खुशी निराशा में बदल गई क्योंकि बारिश ओलों में बदल गई जिसने फसलों को बर्बाद कर दिया। मैदान बर्फ की तरह सफेद नमक की परत से ढका हुआ था। लेंचो अपने परिवार के लिए चिंतित था।

Lencho’s Firm Belief in God

Though Lencho was a poor farmer and had lost all his crops, he had firm faith in God. He found in God his last hope and decided to write a letter to God for help. He asked God to send him a hundred pesos so that he could sow his field again and support his family until the new crops were harvested. He also wrote that if God didn’t help him, his family would die of hunger.

He told the teacher that he should not spread the poison of social inequality and communal intolerance in the minds of innocent children. The teacher accepted his mistake.

यद्यपि लेंचो एक गरीब किसान था और उसकी सारी फसल नष्ट हो गई थी, फिर भी उसका ईश्वर में दृढ़ विश्वास था। उसने ईश्वर में अपनी आखिरी उम्मीद पाई और मदद के लिए ईश्वर को एक पत्र लिखने का फैसला किया। उसने भगवान से उसे सौ पेसो भेजने के लिए कहा ताकि वह अपने खेत को फिर से बो सके और नई फसल आने तक अपने परिवार का भरण-पोषण कर सके। उसने यह भी लिखा कि अगर भगवान ने उसकी मदद नहीं की, तो उसका परिवार भूख से मर जाएगा।

उन्होंने शिक्षक से कहा कि वह मासूम बच्चों के मन में सामाजिक असमानता और सांप्रदायिक असहिष्णुता का जहर न फैलाएं। शिक्षक ने अपनी गलती स्वीकार की।

The Postmaster’s Reaction to Lencho’s Letter

After reading Lencho’s letter to God, the postmaster laughed but soon realised that Lencho had firm faith in God and his belief should not be shaken. So, he decided to help Lencho with the help of his post office employees. He collected seventy pesos and handed the envelope to Lencho himself in which he also contributed a part of his salary.

लेंचो का भगवान को लिखा पत्र पढ़कर पोस्टमास्टर हँसा लेकिन जल्द ही महसूस किया कि लेंचो को भगवान पर दृढ़ विश्वास था और उसका विश्वास हिलना नहीं चाहिए। इसलिए, उन्होंने अपने डाकघर के कर्मचारियों की मदद से लेंचो की मदद करने का फैसला किया। उसने सत्तर पेसो एकत्र किए और लिफाफा खुद लेंचो को सौंप दिया जिसमें उसने अपने वेतन का एक हिस्सा भी दिया। 

Lencho Addresses the Post Office Employees ‘A Bunch of Crooks’

Lencho became angry when he saw seventy pesos in the envelope as he had demanded a hundred pesos. He did not believe that God could do such a mistake and send him less money. So, he decided to write a letter again for the rest of money. In this letter, he requested God not to send the rest of the money through the money order because he thought that the post office employees were a ‘bunch of crooks’ who might have stolen his money.

लिंचो ने लिफाफे में सत्तर पेसो देखे तो क्रोधित हो गया क्योंकि उसने सौ पेसो की मांग की थी। उसे विश्वास नहीं हो रहा था कि भगवान ऐसी गलती कर सकता है और उसे कम पैसे भेज सकता है। इसलिए, उसने बाकी पैसों के लिए फिर से एक पत्र लिखने का फैसला किया। इस पत्र में, उसने भगवान से शेष धन मनी ऑर्डर के माध्यम से नहीं भेजने का अनुरोध किया क्योंकि उसने सोचा था कि डाकघर के कर्मचारी ‘बदमाशों का झुंड’ थे जिन्होंने शायद उसका पैसा चुरा लिया था।

Conclusion of A Letter to God

In the chapter – A Letter to God, we learnt that faith in God has the power to move mountains and satisfy our needs. However, it should also be noted that humanity also prevails in the midst of one’s faith in the Almighty. This story beautifully sketches Lencho’s deep faith in God and how the post office employees helped him anonymously by contributing money from their pockets to help the poor man in crisis.

अध्याय – ईश्वर के नाम एक पत्र में, हमने सीखा कि ईश्वर में विश्वास में पहाड़ों को हिलाने और हमारी आवश्यकताओं को पूरा करने की शक्ति है। हालाँकि, यह भी ध्यान दिया जाना चाहिए कि सर्वशक्तिमान में किसी के विश्वास के बीच मानवता भी प्रबल होती है। यह कहानी लेंचो की ईश्वर में गहरी आस्था और कैसे डाकघर के कर्मचारियों ने संकट में पड़े गरीब व्यक्ति की मदद करने के लिए अपनी जेब से पैसे देकर गुमनाम रूप से उसकी मदद की, यह कहानी खूबसूरती से दर्शाती है।
