Question – Write a Character Sketch of Lencho.

Answer – Lencho was a hard working farmer, an ox of a man. A man with minimal
resources, he earned his living by cultivating his fields. He had immense faith in
God. He thought that God always helped those who had a good conscience. He
therefore sought to God for help when he and his family reached the point of
hunger and he had lost all hope. Even the postmaster was struck by his strong
religious convictions and decided to help out. Although he was a farmer, Lencho had
enough education to compose a letter. He demonstrates his purity by making an
effort to communicate with God directly.
He had a firm belief in God, but he had a tendency to doubt people’s intentions. He
never tried to find out who had sent him those 70 pesos to help him. It is rather
ironic that he humiliated his helpers by calling them “a bunch of crooks.”
