Rancho's house – thelone house in t

Rancho's house – the
lone house in the entire valley – was on
the crown of a low hill. From the
pinnacle of the hill one could see the
rapid flowing stream and next to it vast
fields of ripe corn in between the red
kidney bean flowers. Looking at it one
could 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 he
was quite confident that it would rain. “You know, woman, now we are finally
going to get some rain.” His wife, who was busy preparing food, replied: “Yes, God
willing.”
As soon as Rancho's family, his wife and sons, sat for dinner, just as he had
predicted big drops of rain started falling. In the Northeast huge clouds were
covering the sky like a blanket. The air had the smell of rain combined with the
smell of fresh earth. The atmosphere at that time was absolutely heavenly. The
boys left their food on pretext of getting one thing and another. All they wanted
was to get wet and play in the rain.
Rancho was very happy as he looked at his field, “Ah! now my harvest is
going to be wonderful.” He started dreaming about all the things he will be doing
once he sells the crops. Suddenly heavy winds began to blow accompanied by big
drops of rain, which looked like huge pearls of ice. “Oh my God! This can't be
happening,” 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 front
and said, “I am sure it will pass soon, don't worry.”
Unfortunately it didn't. The hailstorm lasted the whole night. It destroyed
entire field of his precious crops. Everything looked so white as if someone had
thrown sacks and sacks of pearls all over the place.

Rancho and his wife were worried to death. Everything they had was destroyed
and 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 have
God. I am sure he will help us.”
All through the night Rancho kept on thinking how to ask for help from
God. “God knows everything but I think I should write to Him and ask directly what I
want.”
Rancho was thankful for the day his parents had sent him to school. Even
though he wasn't interested in studies but he had grudgingly learned to read and
write. 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

th He put the letter inside an envelope and addressed it to “God, 7 Heaven”
and placed a stamp on it and dropped it in the mailbox. The workers at the post
office were preparing the letters to mail when they came across the letter
addressed to God. The postman who came across this letter became curious
because he had never seen a letter addressed to God. He wanted to open the
letter but his job ethics stopped him from doing so. He decided to take the letter to
the Postmaster. The Postmaster was a very nice and kind gentleman. He always
helped people in any way he could. When the postman gave him the letter, he
looked at it and said, “It takes a man with strong faith to start a communication
with God. I wish I had such strong faith.”
After much thought, he decided to read the letter and perhaps reply it. He
opened Rancho's letter. Little did he know that replying the letter would need
more than good intention, pen and paper. Rancho needed a lot of money but the
postmaster didn't have any. Since he had already decided to help Rancho, he
decided to give part of his salary, and he asked his friends and co-workers to
contribute. But it was impossible for him to collect 100 pesos. He was happy that at
least 70 pesos were collected. So he put the money in an envelope and signed it as
“God” and asked the postman to deliver it to Rancho's house.
When the postman arrived at Rancho's house and delivered the letter to
him, Rancho was exhilarated beyond means. And he kept repeating Thank you
God! Thank you God! I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Rancho had very strong faith in God. He was not surprised when he
opened the envelope. But as he was counting the money he became very angry.
God couldn't have made mistake in sending the money. So he took out paper and
wrote to God again. Then he placed a stamp on it and put it in the mailbox. When
the postman took the letter out, he immediately took it to the postmaster. The
Postmaster quickly opened the letter and everyone in the post office gathered
around him wanting to know what Rancho wrote to God.

Dear God
I am really grateful to you for sending the money. I knew you wouldn't let my family
go hungry. Of the money you send me I only received 70 pesos. Please send me the
rest. I really need the money. But, this time please, God don't send it through the
mail, because the people working here in this post office are all a bunch of thieves.
sincerely yours

Rumah Rancho - yang

puncak bukit yang bisa melihat
sungai yang mengalir cepat dan sebelahnya luas
ladang jagung matang di antara merah
bunga kacang merah. Melihat salah satu
bisa memprediksi bahwa itu akan menjadi
panen yang baik tetapi membutuhkan curah hujan yang,
namun singkat.
Semua melalui pagi Rancho terus memindai langit untuk tanda-tanda curah hujan dan dia
cukup yakin bahwa itu akan hujan. "Kau tahu, wanita, sekarang kita
akhirnya. Akan mendapatkan beberapa hujan" Istrinya, yang sedang sibuk menyiapkan makanan, menjawab: "Ya Allah,
bersedia."
Begitu keluarga Rancho, istri dan anak-anak, duduk untuk makan malam, seperti yang telah
diprediksi tetes besar hujan mulai jatuh. Di awan besar Timur Laut yang
meliputi langit seperti selimut. Udara memiliki bau hujan dikombinasikan dengan
bau tanah segar. Suasana saat itu benar-benar surgawi. The
boys meninggalkan makanan mereka dengan dalih mendapatkan satu dan lain hal. Semua mereka ingin
adalah untuk mendapatkan basah dan bermain dalam hujan.
Rancho sangat senang karena ia memandang bidangnya, "Ah! sekarang panen saya
akan menjadi indah. "Dia mulai bermimpi tentang semua hal yang ia akan melakukan
setelah ia menjual tanaman. Tiba-tiba angin kencang mulai meniup disertai dengan besar
tetes hujan, yang tampak seperti mutiara besar es. "Astaga! Hal ini tidak dapat
terjadi, "pikirnya. "TIDAK!! TIDAK!! Saya akan hancur. Ini ada hujan, itu adalah
hujan es. Saya berharap itu akan berlalu segera. "Tapi di depan keluarganya ia terus depan yang kuat
dan berkata," Saya yakin itu akan berlalu segera, jangan khawatir.
"Sayangnya tidak. Badai berlangsung sepanjang malam. Ini menghancurkan
seluruh bidang tanaman berharga. Semuanya tampak begitu putih seolah-olah seseorang telah
dilemparkan karung dan karung mutiara di seluruh tempat. 92 Kelas XI SMA / MA / SMK / MAK Semester 1 Rancho dan istrinya khawatir mati. Segala sesuatu yang mereka telah hancur dan mereka tidak punya firasat tentang apa yang akan mereka lakukan. Anak-anak bertanya, "Apa yang akan kita lakukan? Semuanya hancur. Kami bahkan tidak memiliki beberapa potong jagung atau kacang-kacangan. Apakah ini berarti kita akan mati kelaparan? "Kata Rancho," Anak-anak saya, tidak ada yang meninggal karena kelaparan. Selalu ingat kita memiliki Allah. Saya yakin dia akan membantu kami. "Sepanjang malam Rancho terus berpikir bagaimana untuk meminta bantuan dari Allah. "Tuhan tahu segalanya tapi saya pikir saya harus menulis kepada-Nya dan bertanya langsung apa yang saya inginkan." Rancho bersyukur untuk hari orang tuanya telah mengirimnya ke sekolah. Bahkan meskipun ia tidak tertarik dalam studi tetapi dia enggan belajar membaca dan menulis. Jadi dia mengambil kertas dan pena dan mulai menulis. Rancho Lucas The Violet Bukit Argentina 18 th Mei 1999 Dear God Hi, Saya menulis surat ini kepada Anda dari urgensi ekstrim, kalau tidak saya tidak akan terganggu Anda. Anda tahu tentang badai baru-baru ini di tempat saya. Yah, itu telah menghancurkan saya. Segala sesuatu di peternakan saya hancur. Saya jagung dan kacang ginjal yang hampir siap dan semua itu butuhkan adalah hujan tapi bukannya hujan datang badai. Jika telah berlangsung untuk periode singkat itu akan menjadi OK, tapi sayangnya itu berlangsung selama satu malam. Ini telah menempatkan saya pada kerugian serius, Anda melihat Allah, satu-satunya sumber pendapatan saya adalah pertanian itu dan sekarang sudah benar-benar hancur. Tidak ada yang tersisa. Jika saya biarkan seperti ini keluarga saya akan mati kelaparan, karena kita tidak akan memiliki apa-apa untuk dimakan. Saya tidak bisa duduk diam dan melakukan apa-apa tentang hal itu. Saya perlu 100 peso untuk membeli bibit dan resow bidang saya lagi dan membeli beberapa makanan sampai panen berikutnya. Jadi sayang Tuhan, tolong bantu saya. Aku tahu kau tidak akan mengecewakan saya. Hormat, Rancho, petani Bahasa Inggris 93 th Dia meletakkan surat itu di dalam amplop dan ditujukan kepada "Tuhan, 7 Surga" dan ditempatkan cap di atasnya dan menjatuhkannya di kotak pesan. Para pekerja di pos kantor sedang menyiapkan surat untuk mail ketika mereka datang di surat yang ditujukan kepada Allah. Tukang pos yang datang di surat ini menjadi penasaran karena ia belum pernah melihat surat yang ditujukan kepada Allah. Ia ingin membuka surat tapi etika pekerjaannya menghentikannya dari melakukannya. Dia memutuskan untuk mengambil surat kepada Postmaster tersebut. Postmaster adalah seorang pria yang sangat bagus dan baik. Dia selalu membantu orang dengan cara apapun yang dia bisa. Ketika tukang pos memberinya surat itu, ia melihatnya dan berkata, "Dibutuhkan seorang pria dengan iman yang kuat untuk memulai komunikasi dengan Tuhan. Saya berharap saya memiliki iman yang kuat seperti itu. "Setelah berpikir panjang, ia memutuskan untuk membaca surat itu dan mungkin membalas itu. Dia membuka surat Rancho. Sedikit dia tahu bahwa membalas surat itu akan membutuhkan lebih dari baik niat, pena dan kertas. Rancho membutuhkan banyak uang tetapi postmaster tidak punya. Karena ia sudah memutuskan untuk membantu Rancho, ia memutuskan untuk memberikan sebagian dari gajinya, dan ia meminta teman-temannya dan rekan kerja untuk berkontribusi. Tapi itu tidak mungkin baginya untuk mengumpulkan 100 peso. Ia senang bahwa setidaknya 70 peso dikumpulkan. Jadi dia menaruh uang dalam amplop dan ditandatangani sebagai "Tuhan" dan meminta tukang pos untuk menyampaikan itu ke rumah Rancho. Ketika tukang pos tiba di rumah Rancho dan menyerahkan surat itu ke dia, Rancho itu gembira luar kemampuan. Dan ia terus mengulangi Terima kasih Tuhan! Terima kasih Tuhan! Aku tahu kau tidak akan mengecewakan saya. Rancho memiliki iman yang sangat kuat di dalam Tuhan. Dia tidak terkejut ketika ia membuka amplop. Tapi karena ia menghitung uang ia menjadi sangat marah. Allah tidak bisa membuat kesalahan dalam pengiriman uang. Jadi dia mengambil kertas dan menulis surat kepada Tuhan lagi. Kemudian ia ditempatkan cap di atasnya dan memasukkannya ke dalam kotak surat. Ketika tukang pos mengambil surat itu keluar, ia segera membawanya ke postmaster. The Postmaster cepat membuka surat dan semua orang di kantor pos berkumpul di sekelilingnya ingin tahu apa Rancho menulis kepada Tuhan. Rancho Lucas The Violet Bukit Argentina 20 Mei 1999 Dear God Saya benar-benar berterima kasih kepada Anda untuk mengirimkan uang. Aku tahu kau tidak akan membiarkan keluarga saya kelaparan.
