    was tenderest care by his parents.
    ▪ His father built a little nippa cottage in the
    garden for him to play in the day time.
    ▪ He also remembered the happy moonlit nights
    at azotea after the nightly Rosary.
    ▪ A kind old woman was employed as an aya
    (nurse maid) to look after his comfort.

    threaten him that the asuang, nuno, tigbalang, or a terrible bearded
    and turbaned Bombay would come to take him if he would not eat his
    supper.
    ▪ Recounting his childhood experience in his student memoirs.

    Rizal wrote: “Thus my heart fed on somber and melancholic thoughts so


    that even while still a child, I already wandered on wings of fantasy in the
    high regions of the unknown”.
    The Hero’s First Sorrow
    The Rizal children were bound together by ties of love and companionship.
    Jose loved most the little Concha (Concepcion) He was year older than
    Concha.

    Unfortunately, Concha died of sickness in 1865, when she was 3 years old.
    Jose, who was very fond of her, cried bitterly at losing her.

    “When I was four years old” he said, “I lost my little sister Concha, and then
    for the first time I shed tears cause by love and grief…”

    The death of little Concha brought him his first sorrow.

    began to make sketches with his pencil and mold in clay and wax objects which
    attracted his fancy.
    Upon the request of the town mayor, he painted in oil colors a new banner that
    delighted the town folks because it was better than the original one.
    One day when he was about 6 years old his sisters laughed at him for spending so
    much time making those images rather than participating in their games.
    He kept silent as they laughed with childish glee. But as they were departing, he told
    them:

    “All right laugh at me now! Someday when I die, people will make
    monuments and images of me!”
