Discuss the irony in the chapter.

Answer: The end of the story is rather ironical. Impressed with the utter faith of Lencho in God, the postmaster collected a sum of seventy pesos from his employees and contributed a part of his salary. He did not want to shake his faith in God. However, his great act of charity was not recognised and appreciated by Lencho, the man who received the help. Contrary to it, the post office employees were ironically called ‘a bunch of crooks’ by the farmer.
