THE RIZAL’S FAMILY HOME


• House which Rizal was born was made of solid and massive earthquake proof
structure with sliding wide window shutters with capiz shells.
• Walls of lime and store bounded the first floor.
• Second floor was entirely of hard wood except for the roof which was of red tile in of
the imposing buildings in Manila.
• Dona Teodora used to tell stories to her children before going to bed.
• She narrated the story of the young moth. Which foresee that Dr. Rizal was destined
to die as a martyr for lofty ideal
• He was amazed by the “Story of the Moth”, written in the book “El Amigos de los
Niños” which depicted the death of the young moth due to his curiosity in flying near
to a fire despite of the stern warning from the mother moth.
• Once upon a time, an old moth had warned her daughter against the flame, so
beautiful, so inviting, yet fatal and deceitful for it destroyed whoever came too close.
She herself said, she was once tempted by it; she had barely escaped with half-burnt
wings. The frightened young moth promised to obey, but was soon asking herself:
“now why should my mother try to give me such a scare? Why should I close my eyes
to such a pretty sight? These old people are such a coward! They think every fly is an
elephant, any old dwarf a giant. What harm can it to me, whatever she says, if I
come near the flame, as long as I am careful? What I am, a little silly? What a story I
shall have for other girls if I, being very careful of course, take a closer look.”
• No sooner said that done, and the silly little moth went fluttering around the flame. At
first, she only felt pleasantly warm; this encouraged her, and she flew closer and
closer until at last, dazzled by flame, fell and perished in it.
• As she put me to bed, my mother said: “See to it that you do not behave like the

young moth. Don't be disobedient, or you may get burned as it did. “I do not know
whether I answered or not.”
• Of all the stories Rizal's mother had told, this is the most memorable that made the
profoundest imprint on him.
• It revealed to Rizal that the things until then are unknown. That moth were not longer
for him, insignificant insect.
That moth communicates and warn just like his mother.
• Moth grown dazzling and more attractive and circled the flames then later on, burnt
itself.

fated to die as a martyr for a noble ideal.

IN MEMORY OF MY TOWN
When I recall the days
That saw my childhood of yore
Beside the verdant shore
Of a murmuring lagoon;
When I remember the sighs
Of the breeze that on my brow
Sweet and caressing did blow
With coolness full of delight;

When I look at the lily white


Fills up with air violent
And the stormy element

On the sand doth meekly sleep;
When sweet 'toxicating scent
From the flowers I inhale
Which at the dawn they exhale
When at us it begins to peep;

I sadly recall your face,


Oh precious infancy,
That a mother lovingly
Did succeed to embellish.
I remember a simple town;
My cradle, joy and boon,
Beside the cool lagoon
The seat of my entire wish.

Oh, yes! With uncertain pace


I trod your forest lands,
And on your river banks
A pleasant fun I found;
At your rustic temple I prayed
With a little boy's simple faith
And your aura's flawless breath
Filled my heart with joy profound.

Saw I God in the grandeur


Of your woods which for centuries stand;
Never did I understand
In your bosom what sorrows were;
While I gazed on your azure sky
Neither love nor tenderness
Failed me, 'cause my happiness
In the heart of nature rests there.

Tender childhood, beautiful town,


Rich fountain of happiness,
Of harmonious melodies,
That drive away my sorrow!
Return thee to my heart,
Bring back my gentle hours
As do the birds when the flow'rs

Would again begin to blow!


But, alas, adieu! E'er watch
For your peace, joy and repose,
Genius of good who kindly dispose
Of his blessings with amour;
