Detailed explanation-1: -Ans. Lencho thought that the post office employees had taken the rest of the money. The irony of the situation was that the employees 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lencho is certain that God couldn’t have made an error and hence accuses the post office employees of stealing the money. The irony during this situation is that Lencho suspects the exact same people that helped him in his time of need.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is situational irony? Situational irony is when the outcome is the opposite or completely different from what was expected. Situational irony involves the result of a situation not matching with your expectations, such as a baker being allergic to flour.
Detailed explanation-4: -The irony in this lesson is option C) Lencho blamed the post office employees who in fact helped him. Lencho had written a letter to God, asking Him for one hundred pesos. The postmaster took the initiative to collect some money and give it to Lencho, so that he wouldn’t lose his faith in God.
Detailed explanation-5: -When Lencho received the letter, the post master waited to see his reaction and expected Lencho to be happy, grateful and excited. Ironically, Lencho was not at all surprised to get a letter from God but was angry when he counted the money. It was 30 pesos less and God could not have refused or made a mistake.
