Rizal Childhood Years in Calamba

The Story of the Moth 

     Of the stories told by Doña Teodora to her favorite son, Jose, that of the young moth made the profoundest impression on him. 

      The tragic fate of the young moth, which “died a martyr to its illusions,” left a deep impress on Rizal’s mind. He justified such noble death, asserting that “to sacrifice one’s life for it,” meaning for an ideal, is “worthwhile.” And, like the young moth, he was fated to die as a martyr for a noble ideal.
