English Language & Literature — CBSE Class 10 board question

The postmaster read the letter sent by Lencho. When he read it, he first laughed but then turned serious, admiring Lencho's deep faith in God. He decided to answer the letter so as not to shake Lencho's faith. He collected money from his employees, contributed part of his own salary, and asked friends to donate. Though he could not gather the full hundred pesos, he put a little more than half in an envelope addressed to Lencho and signed it 'God'.

• The question is 3 marks, so cover three key points: (1) who read it, (2) his reaction, (3) what action he took.
• Mention the postmaster's motivation — not to shake Lencho's faith — as examiners look for this reason.
• Note that he signed the letter 'God' — a detail often asked separately but relevant here too.
• Keep it within ~75 words; avoid listing every detail of the story.
