The woman holding a stack of lottery tickets to sell to customers is also selling them dreams of changing their lives, and she herself has a dream. The girl holding a birdcage also has a dream. The dreams of these two individuals are different. And what about the bird inside the cage? Does it dream of escaping, spreading its wings to seek freedom, or is it content with its current situation? Dreaming is a way to know that one exists, rather than being lost in the thought of "To be or not to be" like Hamlet in Shakespeare's play.

Viet Van Tran was born 1971 in Ha Noi, Viet Nam, B.A Cultural, now is a special reporter for Lao Dong newspaper (Vietnam).
