What did Lencho compare the large raindrops with in "A Letter to God"?

In the story “A Letter to God” by G.L. Fuentes, Lencho compared the large raindrops to new coins.

Specifically:

• Large raindrops were compared to ten-cent coins
• Small raindrops were compared to five-cent coins

This comparison shows how happy and hopeful Lencho was, as he believed the rain would help his crops grow. However, the rain later turned into a hailstorm and destroyed his entire field.

This moment highlights the shift from hope to despair in the story.
