Rancho's house – thelone house in t

Rancho's house – thelone house in the entire valley – was onthe crown of a low hill. From the pinnacle of the hill one could see therapid flowing stream and next to it vastfields of ripe corn in between the redkidney bean flowers. Looking at it onecould predict that it was going to be good harvest but it needed a rainfall,however brief.All through the morning Rancho kept scanning the sky for signs of rainfall and hewas quite confident that it would rain. “You know, woman, now we are finallygoing to get some rain.” His wife, who was busy preparing food, replied: “Yes, Godwilling.”As soon as Rancho's family, his wife and sons, sat for dinner, just as he hadpredicted big drops of rain started falling. In the Northeast huge clouds werecovering the sky like a blanket. The air had the smell of rain combined with thesmell of fresh earth. The atmosphere at that time was absolutely heavenly. Theboys left their food on pretext of getting one thing and another. All they wantedwas to get wet and play in the rain.
Rancho was very happy as he looked at his field, “Ah! now my harvest isgoing to be wonderful.” He started dreaming about all the things he will be doingonce he sells the crops. Suddenly heavy winds began to blow accompanied by bigdrops of rain, which looked like huge pearls of ice. “Oh my God! This can't behappening,” he thought. “NO!! NO!! I will be destroyed. This is no rain, it is a hailstorm. I hope it will pass soon.” But in front of his family he kept a strong frontand said, “I am sure it will pass soon, don't worry.”Unfortunately it didn't. The hailstorm lasted the whole night. It destroyedentire field of his precious crops. Everything looked so white as if someone hadthrown sacks and sacks of pearls all over the place.Rancho and his wife were worried to death. Everything they had was destroyedand they had no inkling as to what they will do.The boys asked them, “What are we going to do? Everything is destroyed.We don't even have few pieces of corn or beans. Does this mean we are going to die
of hunger?”Rancho said, “ My sons, nobody dies of hunger. Always remember we haveGod. I am sure he will help us.”All through the night Rancho kept on thinking how to ask for help fromGod. “God knows everything but I think I should write to Him and ask directly what Iwant.”Rancho was thankful for the day his parents had sent him to school. Eventhough he wasn't interested in studies but he had grudgingly learned to read andwrite. So he took out paper and pen and started writing.

Dear God
Hi,
I am writing this letter to you out of extreme urgency, otherwise I
wouldn't have disturbed you. You know about the recent hailstorm in
my place. Well, it has destroyed me. Everything in my farm was
destroyed. My corn and kidney beans were almost ready and all it
needed was a rainfall but instead of rainfall came a storm. If it had
lasted for short period it would have been OK, but unfortunately it
lasted for an entire night. It has put me at a serious disadvantage, you
see God, my sole source of income is that farm and now it is
completely destroyed. Nothing is left. If I leave it like this my family
will die of hunger, since we will not have anything to eat. I can't sit
still and do nothing about it. I need 100 pesos to buy the seeds and
resow my field all over again and buy some food till the next harvest.
So dear God, please help me. I know you will not disappoint me.

Sincerely Yours,
Rancho, the farmer
