Key Themes
Faith as a Source of Strength
The story highlights Lencho's deep and 
innocent faith in God. His belief gives him 
hope and courage even after losing 
everything to the hailstorm.
Hope Amid Despair
Despite total destruction of his crops, 
Lencho's unwavering hope keeps him 
strong, teaching that faith can help 
people endure hardship.
Human Kindness as Divine Help
The postmaster and his colleagues act as 
instruments of God's will. Their 
compassion and charity show that 
goodness in human beings can mirror 
divine kindness.
Irony of Innocent Faith
Lencho's simple, unquestioning trust in 
God leads him to misunderstand those 
who actually helped him. This irony 
reveals how blind faith can overlook 
human goodness.
Power of Nature
The hailstorm reminds us of nature's 
strength and its ability to both sustain 
and destroy life, emphasising human 
dependence on it.
Message of Humanity
The story conveys that true faith, hope, 
and kindness connect people. While 
Lencho sees help as coming from God, it 
is human empathy that truly answers 
prayers.
