Question:

Who does Lencho think has taken the rest of the money ? What is the irony in the situation? (Remember that the irony of the 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 rest of the money has been taken by the employees of the post office.
