Two moths are flying around a flame. The elder moth warns the younger one to stay away from the flame, but the younger one disobeys, his wings catch fire, and he dies. Jose Rizal's mother told him the story to get him to pay attention to his schoolwork while he was watched the moths encircle the flame to their table lamp. He immediately understood what might happen to him if he exercised his right to freedom in life.

It was Jose Rizal's Mother who told him about the story of the moth. One night, her mother noticed that Rizal was not paying anymore attention to what she is saying.

There was a Mother and son Moth flying around the light of a candle. The Mother moth told her son not to go near the light because that was a fire and it could kill him easily. The son agreed.
