Theme
This thought-provoking story, written by the Mexican writer G.L. Fuentes, is primarily based on three major themes: faith, innocence, and human kindness.
- This story illustrates the farmer's profound and unwavering faith in God. The faith was so strong that he even wrote a letter to God, demanding a hundred pesos to overcome the loss.
- The story also illustrates the childlike innocence of the farmer and his naive nature, as he was expecting a response from God.
- The story also depicts the kindness shown by the postmaster, as he helped the farmer monetarily even though they did not know each other.
