A story I wrote in English:

Một đoạn văn ngắn viết chơi bằng tiếng Anh, mới "tìm thấy" lại trong một sổ tay từ vài năm trước.
Qua đây, có thể thấy điều mà một số nhà văn đã nói, rằng khi bạn chuyển sang viết bằng một ngôn ngữ khác, bạn không hoàn toàn là một với khi bạn viết bằng tiếng mẹ đẻ của bạn.
