Lancho, a humble farmer, stood on his small plot of land, the sun setting behind him. The fields, once lush and green, now lay barren after a fierce storm had torn through them. "The storm has taken everything from us," he lamented to his wife, his voice heavy with despair.

Lancho pondered over what little options he had left. As the evening deepened, he sat by the dim light of a solitary candle, pen and paper in front of him. "We have to try something different," he resolved, beginning to write a letter addressed to God. He poured out his heart, requesting 100 pesos to buy seeds and sow his fields anew.

With a hopeful heart, Lancho sealed the letter in an envelope marked 'To God' and made his way to the local post office. The clerk raised an eyebrow but accepted the letter without a word as Lancho handed it over with trembling hands. "May this find its way," he whispered.

Days passed, and Lancho received a letter. It contained 70 pesos, much to his initial joy. However, the letter accompanying the money stated it was from the government, not God. "Only 70? This cannot be from God," he muttered, frustration clouding his features.

Lancho felt cheated. Believing the government had intervened, he sat down once more, his resolve hardened. He wrote a new letter, demanding the remaining 30 pesos from God and cursing the government for what he perceived as interference. "I will not rest until I have what was asked," he declared.

Reflecting on his actions, Lancho realized that perhaps the answer lay not in waiting for divine intervention, but in his own hands. "Faith is important, but so is our own effort," he mused, a new determination lighting up his eyes. He decided to seek help from neighbors and explore every possible avenue to rebuild his farm, knowing that the true strength lay within his own perseverance.
