Letter to GOD. Rancho's house – the

Letter to GOD.
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.

Surat kepada Allah. Rancho's house- satu-satunya rumah di seluruh lembah-berada di Mahkota bukit rendah. Dari puncak bukit satu bisa melihat sungai mengalir cepat dan sebelahnya luas ladang jagung matang di antara merah bunga kacang. Melihat satu bisa meramalkan bahwa itu akan menjadi panen baik tetapi diperlukan curah hujan, Meskipun singkat.Sepanjang pagi Rancho terus pemindaian langit untuk tanda-tanda curah hujan dan ia itu cukup yakin bahwa itu akan hujan. "Kau tahu, wanita, sekarang kita akhirnya akan mendapatkan beberapa hujan." Istrinya, yang sedang sibuk menyiapkan makanan, menjawab: "Ya, Tuhan bersedia."Segera Rancho's Keluarga, istri dan anak-anak, duduk untuk makan malam, seperti yang ia diperkirakan besar tetes hujan mulai jatuh. Di timur laut besar awan itu meliputi langit seperti selimut. Udara memiliki bau hujan yang dikombinasikan dengan bau segar bumi. Suasana saat itu adalah benar-benar surgawi. The anak laki-laki meninggalkan makanan mereka dalih mendapatkan satu hal dan satu lagi. Semua yang mereka inginkan adalah untuk basah dan bermain di tengah hujan. Rancho adalah sangat bahagia karena dia tampak di bidangnya, "Ah! Sekarang saya panen akan menjadi indah." Dia mulai bermimpi tentang segala sesuatu yang dia akan melakukan setelah dia menjual tanaman. Tiba-tiba berat angin mulai meniup disertai dengan besar tetes hujan, yang tampak seperti mutiara besar es. "Oh Tuhan! Ini tidak dapat terjadi,"pikirnya. "TIDAK!! Tidak!! Saya akan dibinasakan. Ini adalah hujan, 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.
