There are some good and good German customs, such as
Christmas, which give me the pleasure to describe because it is
not found in Spain and you have never read it in Spanish. On
Christmas Eve they bring from the forest a pine, and this tree
was chosen because, besides being situated, it is the only tree
that retains its leaves during the winter; not really leaves, but a
kind of needle. It is decorated with tinsel, paper, light, dolls,
candy, fruits, etc., and at night time, it is shown to children (who
should see it prepared), and around this tree the family

“All right, you will study hard and reflect on what you have learned.
Life is a serious matter and only the intellect and heart pass it by.
To live is to be with humanity and to be with humanity is to suffer.
But this misery is not just a cruel and material struggle to the
people; it is a struggle for them and for themselves, their passions
and self, with mistakes and anxiety. It is an eternal torment with a
smile on the lips and tears in the heart.
In this war, there was no better weapon besides his intelligence, no
force but his heart. Sharpen, perfect, refine your mind and
strengthen and educate your heart. (I wrote) enough for now ... [I'm]
your uncle who loves you. José Rizal
Andersen's five talents were interpreted from
German, a language he learned. In translating these
stories into Tagalog, Rizal not only passes them on to
his nephews, but also promotes a way of life he has
adapted overseas and brought it to the Philippines.
No one knows exactly why Rizal chose these stories
to translate. However, Ocampo notices that the main
character is individuals who will eventually change
and shape. He believes that Rizal not only educates
his nephews, but also the country.
