No, Lencho was not surprised to get the money. He was very confident that God would definitely help him.

At first, the postmaster and the postman broke out in laugh. But, at the same moment the postmaster was impressed by Lencho’s faith in the God. He wished that he could also keep that much faith in God. The postmaster decided to help Lencho. He asked his colleagues to contribute some money and he himself gave a part of his salary.

Lencho became angry when he counted the money that God had sent him. He found that the money amounted to seventy pesos only whereas he had asked for hundred pesos. He believed that the post office employees have stolen the rest of the amount because God could never make a mistake. Also, God would never deny Lencho what he had requested.

Lencho has complete faith in God. It can be inferred from the following sentences:-

• But in the hearts of all who lived in that solitary house in the middle of the valley, there was a single hope: help from God.
• Don't be so upset, even though this seems like a total loss. Remember, no one dies of hunger.
• All through the night, Lencho thought only of his one hope: the help of God, whose eyes, as he had been instructed, see everything, even what is deep in one's conscience.
