Class 10 English - First Flight - Chapter A Letter to God NCERT Solutions | Who does Lencho think has taken the rest
Who does Lencho think has taken the rest of the money? What is the irony in the situation? (Remember that the irony of a situation is an unexpected aspect of it. An ironic situation is strange or amusing because it is the opposite of what is expected.)
Lencho thinks that the post office employees have taken the rest of the money as demand is of a hundred pesos from God and but only seventy pesos was written in the letter and such mistakes cannot be done by God.
According to the employee's situation, the irony is that to whom he called a “bunch of crooks” and suspected of taking some of the money sent by god, were the same people who had contributed and sent him the money.
