A Letter to God Class 10 Long Answer Type Questions

नीचे Long Question Answer of A Letter to God अर्थात A Letter to God के Long Questions Answers दिए गए हैं। ये सभी Long Questions, UP Board Class 10 के NCERT Based English Book से लिए गए हैं।

Q.2. What was Lencho’s pride and possession? (लेंचो का गर्व और संपत्ति क्या थी?)
Ans. Lencho’s pride and possession was his field of ripe corn dotted with flowers. It promised him a good harvest and was his only source of livelihood. He worked hard, like an ox in the field, and trusted that his crop would provide food for the family. When the hailstorm destroyed it completely, he felt devastated as he had lost the result of his hard labour and his only possession. (लेंचो का गर्व और संपत्ति फूलों से लदे पके हुए मक्के के खेत थे। इससे उसे अच्छी फसल मिलने का वादा था और यही उसकी आजीविका का एकमात्र साधन था। वह खेत में बैल की तरह कड़ी मेहनत करता था और उसे भरोसा था कि उसकी फसल उसके परिवार के लिए भोजन का प्रबंध करेगी। जब ओलावृष्टि ने उसे पूरी तरह से नष्ट कर दिया, तो वह बहुत दुखी हुआ क्योंकि उसने अपनी कड़ी मेहनत का फल और अपनी एकमात्र संपत्ति खो दी थी।)

Q.2. Bring out Lencho’s immense faith in God. (ईश्वर के प्रति लेंचो के विश्वास को स्पष्ट कीजिए।)
Ans. Lencho had immense faith in God as he believed that he was the only one who would help him in this difficult situation as the hailstorm had completely ruined his crop. He had prayed to God for a little shower but instead he got hailstorm, yet Lencho had so much faith in God that he wrote a letter to God asking for help. This act of Lencho shows that Lencho had immense faith in God. (लेंचो को भगवान में अपार विश्वास था क्योंकि उसका मानना था कि एकमात्र भगवान ही हैं जो इस कठिन परिस्थिति में उसकी मदद करेंगे क्योंकि ओलावृष्टि ने उसकी फसल को पूरी तरह से बर्बाद कर दिया था। उसने थोड़ी सी बौछार के लिए भगवान से प्रार्थना की थी लेकिन इसके बजाय ओलावृष्टि हुई, फिर भी लेंचो को भगवान में इतना विश्वास था कि उसने भगवान को एक पत्र लिखकर मदद मांगी। लेंचो का यह कार्य ये दर्शाता है कि लेंचो को भगवान में अपार विश्वास था।)

Q.3. How did the hailstones affect Lencho’s field? What was his only hope? (ओलों ने लेंचों के खेतों को किस प्रकार नष्ट कर दिया? उसकी अंतिम आशा क्या थी?)
Ans. Lencho was a farmer. His crops were almost about to ready. The only thing the crops needed was a downpour or at least a shower. Seeing in the sky towards the north-east, Lencho predicted that he is really going to get some water. As he had predicted, big drops of rain began to fall. But suddenly, along with the rain, large hailstorm began to fall. For an hour, the hail rained on the cornfield. The field had turned white as if covered with salt. Not a leaf remained on the trees. The flowers were gone from the plants. The corn was totally destroyed. Thus, the hailstones affected Lencho’s field. Lencho’s last only one hope was the help from God. (लेंचो एक किसान था। उसकी फसल लगभग तैयार होने वाली थी। फसलों को केवल एक चीज की जरूरत थी वह थी बारिश या कम से कम बौछार। आकाश में उत्तर-पूर्व की ओर देखकर, लेंचो ने भविष्यवाणी की कि उसे वास्तव में कुछ पानी मिलने वाला है। जैसा कि उसने भविष्यवाणी की थी, बारिश की बड़ी-बड़ी बूँदें गिरने लगीं। लेकिन अचानक बारिश के साथ ही बड़े-बड़े ओले भी गिरने लगे। एक घंटे तक मक्के के खेत में ओलावृष्टि हुई। खेत सफेद हो गया था मानो नमक से ढका हो। पेड़ों पर एक पत्ता भी नहीं बचा था। फूल पौधों से जा चुके थे। मक्का पूरी तरह से नष्ट हो गया। इस प्रकार ओलों ने लेंचो के खेत को प्रभावित किया। लेंचो की आखिरी एकमात्र आशा ईश्वर से सहायता थी।)

Q.4. How did post office employees help Lencho? How did Lencho react to their help? (डाकघर के कर्मचारियों ने लेंचो की सहायता किस प्रकार की? उनकी सहायता के प्रति लेंचो ने क्या प्रतिक्रिया दी?)
Ans. The postmaster, touched by Lencho’s faith, collected money with the help of his employees and friends. They managed seventy pesos and sent it in God’s name. Lencho was not surprised to receive the money, but became angry on finding it less than he requested. Believing God never makes mistakes, he thought the post office employees had stolen part of the money and called them “a bunch of crooks.” (लेंचो की आस्था से प्रभावित होकर, पोस्टमास्टर ने अपने कर्मचारियों और दोस्तों की मदद से पैसे इकट्ठा किए। उन्होंने सत्तर पेसो इकट्ठा किए और उन्हें ईश्वर के नाम पर भेज दिया। लेनचो को पैसे मिलने पर आश्चर्य नहीं हुआ, लेकिन माँगी गई राशि से कम पाकर वह क्रोधित हो गया। ईश्वर में कभी गलती नहीं होती, इस विश्वास के साथ कि डाकघर के कर्मचारियों ने पैसे का कुछ हिस्सा चुरा लिया है, उसने उन्हें “बदमाशों का झुंड” कहा दिया।)

Q.5. Sketch the character of the following: (निम्नलिखित का चारित्र-चित्रण कीजिए।)
(i) Lencho (लेंचो)
(ii) The Postmaster (डाकपाल)

Ans.(ⅰ) Sketch the character of Lencho.
Lencho is an important character of the story ‘A Letter to God’.
1. A poor man: Lencho was a poor farmer. But one year, his crop was totally ruined by hailstones. Nobody helped him. He was helpless and unhappy.
2. immense faith in God: Lencho had immense faith in God. He believed that God would help him in misery and would not let him die in hunger.
3. Simple and trustworthy: Lencho was a very simple and trustworthy man. He wrote a letter to God and requested Him to send him 100 pesos. He didn’t know that it was impossible. But when he came back to receive money in the post office, he got an envelope addressed to him with money in it. He firmly believed that it was from God.
(लेंचो ‘ए लेटर टू गॉड’ कहानी का अहम किरदार है।
1. एक गरीब व्यक्ति: लेंचो एक गरीब किसान था। लेकिन एक साल ओलावृष्टि से उनकी फसल पूरी तरह से बर्बाद हो गई। किसी ने उसकी मदद नहीं की। वह असहाय और दुःखी था।
2. ईश्वर में अपार आस्था: लेंचो को ईश्वर में अपार आस्था थी। उसका मानना था कि भगवान दुःख में उसकी मदद करेंगे और उसे तथा उसके परिवार को भूख से मरने नहीं देंगे।
3. सरल और भरोसेमंद: लेंचो बहुत ही सरल और भरोसेमंद व्यक्ति था। उसने भगवान को एक पत्र लिखा और उनसे 100 पेसो भेजने का अनुरोध किया। वह नहीं जानता था कि यह असंभव था। लेकिन जब वह डाकघर में पैसे लेने के लिए वापस आया, तो उसे एक लिफाफा मिला, जिसमें पैसे थे। उसका दृढ़ विश्वास था कि यह ईश्वर की ओर से है।)

Ans.(ⅱ) Sketch the character of Postmaster.
The best part of the postmaster’s character appears before us when he opens the envelope. He decided to send some money to the letter writer so that the writer’s faith in God would remain intact. He asked for money from his employees, he himself gave a part of his salary, and many of his friends also joined him in ‘charities’. He put the money in an envelope addressed to Lencho and with it a letter containing only one word as a signature – God. This shows that the postmaster was a good person who liked to do good works and got satisfaction from them. Thus, he was a friendly and big-hearted person.
(पोस्टमास्टर के चरित्र का सबसे अच्छा हिस्सा हमारे सामने तब आता है जब वह लिफाफा खोलता है। उसने पत्र लेखक को कुछ पैसे भेजने का फैसला किया ताकि भगवान में लिखने वाले की आस्था बनी रहे। उसने अपने कर्मचारियों से पैसे मांगे, उसने खुद अपने वेतन का एक हिस्सा दिया, और उसके कई दोस्त भी उसके साथ ‘दान के कार्य’ में शामिल हो गए। उसने लेंचो को संबोधित एक लिफाफे में पैसे डाल दिए और उसके साथ एक पत्र जिसमें हस्ताक्षर के रूप में केवल एक ही शब्द था-भगवान। इससे पता चलता है कि पोस्टमास्टर एक अच्छा इंसान था जो अच्छे काम करना पसंद करता था और उनसे संतुष्टि पाता था। इस प्रकार, वह एक मिलनसार और बड़े दिल का व्यक्ति था।)

Q.6. Why did Lencho write a letter to God? (लेंचो ने ईश्वर को एक पत्र क्यों लिखा?)
Ans. When hailstones destroyed his entire crop, Lencho’s family faced starvation. Having immense faith in God, he saw divine help as his only hope. Believing that God never lets His children die of hunger, he wrote a letter requesting one hundred pesos. His intent was to re-sow his fields and sustain his family until the next harvest. That’s why Lencho wrote a letter to God. (जब ओलों ने उसकी पूरी फसल नष्ट कर दी, तो लेंचो का परिवार भुखमरी का शिकार हो गया। ईश्वर में अटूट विश्वास रखते हुए, उसने ईश्वरीय सहायता को ही अपनी एकमात्र आशा माना। यह मानते हुए कि ईश्वर अपने बच्चों को कभी भूखा नहीं मरने देते, उसने एक पत्र लिखकर सौ पेसो की माँग की। उसका इरादा अपने खेतों में फिर से बुवाई करके अगली फसल तक अपने परिवार का भरण-पोषण करना था। इसीलिए लेनचो ने ईश्वर को पत्र लिखा।)

Q.7. How did the rain change into disaster? How did it affect Lencho’s field? (वर्षा त्रासदी के रूप में कैसे परिवर्तित हो गयी? इसने लेंचो के खेत को कैसे प्रभावित किया?)
Ans. Initially, the rain was a blessing. Lencho joyfully compared raindrops to new coins as they promised a good harvest. Soon, a strong wind came, and hailstones began to fall. They continued for an hour, destroying the entire cornfield, flowers, and trees. The valley looked white, like covered with salt. The crops were completely ruined. Lencho’s hard labour was lost, and the family faced hunger. This is how the hopeful rain turned into disaster. (शुरू में, बारिश एक वरदान थी। लेंचो ने खुशी से बारिश की बूंदों की तुलना नए सिक्कों से की, जो अच्छी फसल का वादा करती थीं। जल्द ही, तेज़ हवा चली और ओले गिरने लगे। ओले एक घंटे तक गिरते रहे, जिससे पूरा मक्के का खेत, फूल और पेड़ नष्ट हो गए। घाटी सफेद दिख रही थी, मानो नमक से ढकी हो। फसलें पूरी तरह बर्बाद हो गईं। लेंचो की मेहनत बेकार गई और परिवार भूखमरी का शिकार हो गया। इस तरह उम्मीद भरी वर्षा त्रासदी के रूप में परिवर्तित हो गई।)

Q.8. Whom did Lencho call ‘bunch of crooks’ and why? (लेंचों ने किसे ‘बदमाशों का झुंड’ कहा और क्यों?)
Ans. Lencho called the post office employees a “bunch of crooks.” He had asked God for one hundred pesos but received only seventy. Firm in his faith that God never makes mistakes, Lencho suspected the employees had kept the remaining thirty pesos for themselves. Ironically, it was these very employees who had collected money for him. His innocence and blind faith in God led him to doubt human honesty. (लेंचो ने डाकघर के कर्मचारियों को “बदमाशों का झुंड” कहा। उसने ईश्वर से सौ पेसो माँगे थे, लेकिन उसे केवल सत्तर पेसो मिले। ईश्वर से कभी गलती नहीं हो सकता, इस विश्वास में दृढ़, लेंचो को शक था कि कर्मचारियों ने बाकी तीस पेसो अपने पास रख लिए हैं। विडंबना यह है कि इन्हीं कर्मचारियों ने उसके लिए पैसे जमा किए थे। उसकी मासूमियत और ईश्वर में अंध विश्वास ने उसे मानवीय ईमानदारी पर शक करने पर मजबूर कर दिया।)

Q.9. Why does the postmaster send money to Lencho? (डाकपाल लेंचो को रुपये क्यों भेजता है?)
Ans. The postmaster was deeply moved by Lencho’s unwavering faith in God. He admired such belief and did not want to disappoint or shake it. To preserve Lencho’s trust, he collected money from himself, his employees, and friends. Although unable to gather the full hundred pesos, he sent seventy in an envelope signed as “God.” This compassionate gesture shows the postmaster’s kindness, empathy, and respect for Lencho’s innocence and faith. (पोस्टमास्टर लेनचो के ईश्वर में अटूट विश्वास से बहुत प्रभावित हुए। उन्होंने इस विश्वास की सराहना की और उसे निराश या हिलाना नहीं चाहते थे। लेनचो का विश्वास बनाए रखने के लिए, उन्होंने खुद से, अपने कर्मचारियों और दोस्तों से पैसे इकट्ठा किए। हालाँकि पूरे सौ पेसो इकट्ठा नहीं कर पाए, फिर भी उन्होंने सत्तर पेसो एक लिफाफे में भेजे, जिस पर “ईश्वर” के हस्ताक्षर थे। यह दयालुतापूर्ण भाव लेनचो की मासूमियत और आस्था के प्रति पोस्टमास्टर की दया, सहानुभूति और सम्मान को दर्शाता है।)
