Storyboard Text

  • He wrote ‘To God’ on the envelope, put the letter inside and, still troubled, went to town.
  • The following Sunday, at daybreak, he began to write a letter which he himself would carry to town and place in the mail. It was nothing less than a letter to God. “God,” he wrote,
  • “if you don’t help me, my family and I will go hungry this year. I need a hundred pesos in order to sow my field again and to live until the crop comes, because the hailstorm....” 
  • At the post office, he placed a stamp on the letter and dropped it into the mailbox. One of the employees, who was a postman and also helped at the post office, went to his boss laughing heartily and showed him the letter to God.
  • Never in his career as a postman had he known that address. The postmaster also broke out laughing,
  • But almost immediately he turned serious and, tapping the letter on his desk, commented, 
  •  “What faith! I wish I had the faith of the man who wrote this letter. Starting up a correspondence with God!”
  • So, in order not to shake the writer’s faith in God, the postmaster came up with an idea: answer the letter. But when he opened it, it was evident that to answer it he needed something more than goodwill, ink and paper. But he stuck to his resolution: he asked for money from his employees, he himself gave part of his salary, and several friends of his were obliged to give something ‘for an act of charity’. 
  •  It was impossible for him to gather together the hundred pesos, so he was able to send the farmer only a little more than half. He put the money in an envelope addressed to Lencho and with it a letter containing only a single word as a signature: God.
