Story of the Moth

THE RIZAL HOME


-was one of the distinguished stone houses in Calamba during
the Spanish times
-it was a two-storey building, rectangular in shape, built of adobe
stones and hard-woods and roofed with red tiles
-by day, it hummed with the noises of children at play and the
songs of the birds in the garden; by night, it echoed with the
dulcet notes of family prayers
The Rizal family belonged to the principalia, a town aristocracy in
Spanish Philippines
The Rizal family had a simple, contented and happy life

THE STORY OF THE MOTH

My attention increased from the first sentence. I looked toward the light and fixed my
gaze on the moths which were circling around it. The story could not have been better
timed. My mother repeated the warning of the old moth. She dwelt upon it and
directed it to me. I heard her, but it is a curious thing that the light seemed to me each
time more beautiful, the flame more attractive. I really envied the fortune of the
insects. They frolicked so joyously in its enchanting splendor that the ones which had
fallen and been drowned in the oil did not cause me any dread.
My mother kept on reading and I listened breathlessly. The fate of the two insects
interested me greatly. The flame rolled its golden tongue to one side and a moth which
this movement had singed fell into the oil, fluttered for a time and then became quiet.
That became for me a great event. A curious change came over me which I have
always noticed in myself whenever anything has stirred my feelings. The flame and
the moth seemed to go further away and my mother's words sounded strange and
uncanny. I did not notice when she ended the fable. All my attention was fixed on the
face of the insect. I watched it with my whole soul... It had died a martyr to its illusions.
As she put me to bed, my mother said: "See that you do not behave like the young
moth. Don't be disobedient, or you may get burnt as it did." I do not know whether I
answered or not... The story revealed to me things until then unknown. Moths no
longer were, for me, insignificant insects. Moths talked; they know how to warn. They
advised just like my mother. The light seemed to me more beautiful. It had grown more
dazzling and more attractive. I knew why the moths circled the flame.
