Answer:
Explanation:
On the surface, it is about the need of 100 pasos. However, the story goes much deeper and although some people regard it as funny, it did not strike me that way.
The central character was looking forward to harvesting a bumper crop of corn and beans. The field was in need only of a little water. What developed was a rain in the form of hail and as he observes, "a cloud of locusts would have left us more than this storm."
In the middle of the night he gets the idea of writing to God asking for the 100 pasos. The postmaster opens the letter and reading the request, is touched by it. He collects all he could but it only came to 70 pasos.
Not enough.
So the farmer writes a second letter which is the point of the "joke."
I guess laughter did not occur to me because he was not grateful that he got anything at all, but angry because there was a shortage. Of course had he shown gratitude, there would have had to have been a different kind of story written. Still, I look forward to some writer picking up the story and ending it with gratitude.

Sample Essay 2
Harvard, Favorite fictional character
Of all the characters that I've "met" through books and movies, two stand out as people that I most want to emulate. They are Attacus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird and Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham from Field of Dreams. They appeal to me because they embody what I strive to be. They are influential people in small towns who have a direct positive effect on those around them. I, too, plan to live in a small town after graduating from college, and that positive effect is something I must give in order to be satisfied with my life.
Both Mr. Finch and Dr. Graham are strong supporting characters in wonderful stories. They symbolize good, honesty, and wisdom. When the story of my town is written I want to symbolize those things. The base has been formed for me to live a productive, helpful life. As an Eagle Scout I represent those things that Mr. Finch and Dr. Graham represent. In the child/adolescent world I am Mr. Finch and Dr. Graham, but soon I'll be entering the adult world, a world in which I'm not yet prepared to lead.
I'm quite sure that as teenagers Attacus Finch and Moonlight Graham often wondered what they could do to help others. They probably emulated someone who they had seen live a successful life. They saw someone like my grandfather, 40-year president of our hometown bank, enjoy a lifetime of leading, sharing, and giving. I have seen him spend his Christmas Eves taking gifts of food and joy to indigent families. Often when his bank could not justify a loan to someone in need, my grandfather made the loan from his own pocket. He is a real-life Moonlight Graham, a man who has shown me that characters like Dr. Graham and Mr. Finch do much much more than elicit tears and smiles from readers and movie watchers. Through him and others in my family I feel I have acquired the values and the burning desire to benefit others that will form the foundation for a great life. I also feel that that foundation is not enough. I do not yet have the sophistication, knowledge, and wisdom necessary to succeed as I want to in the adult world. I feel that Harvard, above all others, can guide me toward the life of greatness that will make me the Attacus Finch of my town.
