MY NAMES

I have two names: Lan and Lân. This is why:
 My father wanted to name me Lan, which means Orchid, but an officer, by mistake, put a hat on my name in my birth certificate and it turned out to be Lân, that means Unicorn.
 Instead of blaming the officer for the mistake, my father was very happy to accept and thank the officer for the new name. Unicorn is a symbol good luck, happiness and nobility. Unlike the Western Unicorn, the Vietnamese one has two small inner horns and never use them for fighting. Therefore, unicorn is also a symbol of peace and humanity.
 My father expects me to keep all good charisteristics of a Vietnamese unicorm:)
 Daddy, I will, as you teach me, forever!
