At first, when I read the story in the book and in the internet, I was not really

interested in reading it because Im not a book reader about fable. But when I read
the story until the end, my vision has started to change. This story shows how
important our life. This story tells us; dont waste our life in easy way of death
because of beautiful illusions.

I found mind this story is like a people, like a weak moth, people are
also weak, when it comes about money. Especially the boys very weak about
money, when the girls are wear mini shorts, some of the boys are very
active. This is the reason why Rizals mother told him about that story
because he is a boy. Rizals mother does not want him to be like a moth.
At the first of the story, his mother teachings Rizals how to read a
book, the book of El Amigo De Los Nios. But Rizal have no interest about
the story because he didnt understand all the words, so Rizals didnt
listening to her mother, instead he is looking at cheerful little flame. The
moth played his eyes. Like Rizal, me in my childhood, I am not listening to
my parents. So thats why I am not a smart man. I noticed that all the
parents have no bad influence to her/his child. All say the mother for us is for
the sake of children. No parents do bad things to her/his childhood except
they insane or abnormal. I realized that how I very lucky
because of my
parents, because until now I have a father and mother continue to
provide/guide to make me into a good person and how to socialize to other
people, and how to be a religious person, to have a faith in god.
This fable is very important to Rizals life because this fable is from his
mother but most important is the moral lesson from the story. Because of
this story he realized life is very important behind the secret of all illusions.
He also learned when the son/daughter did not listened to her/his parents, all
evil happen can occur of all time, and when if too late, thought were wrong.
The story of The Moth and The Flame is like a Rizals Biography.
During his lifetime, he is martyr in search of the lights of truth, freedom and
justice. From the story, Rizals come to realize that one has to sacrifice and
to suffer the consequence of ones action for the attainment of a goal.
I think Rizal is havent obtained a good lesson about the story of The
Moth and The Flame, because like a moth, he is dies finding the lights of
truth. He only obtained only is to realize that one has to sacrifice for the
attainment of a goal. Like Rizal possible all people is brought under the tricks

of illusion in life. No one can notice that such a story like that is very
important to all people especially to all children. Rizals did not escape that
illusion. How about us? All we need is to pass the illusion of life.
