[00:15.64]The Coffee Cup
[00:23.32]神秘的咖啡杯
[00:31.37]I was running a little behind one morning,
[00:34.84]so the kitchen crew already was there when I arrived.
[00:38.90]As I hurriedly unlocked the gate door,
[00:41.52]I saw that the lights in the kitchen were on
[00:44.76]and that they silhouetted 1 the dining room
[00:47.19]and its furnishings through the kitchen
[00:50.00]and dining room doorway 2.
[00:52.12]I also saw distinctly that someone
[00:54.65]was sitting at one of the tables
[00:57.10] - the table closest to the kitchen.
[01:00.15]I was startled, but as I was in a hurry,
[01:03.54]I just called out a "good morning"
[01:05.68]since I thought it must be one of the kitchen crew,
[01:08.79]and moved to turn on the lights.
[01:11.31]The moment the lights came on,
[01:13.60]I saw that no one was sitting at the table,
[01:16.91]but there was an almost empty cup of coffee left on it.
[01:21.36]Oddly, though, the chair again was pulled back
[01:25.91]only enough for someone to have been sitting at the table,
[01:29.99]but not pushed back for someone
[01:31.87]to have had enough room
[01:33.36]to stand up suddenly and walk away.
[01:37.07]I decided 3 to find out who was doing this,
[01:40.28]so I took the cup back into the kitchen area
[01:43.43]and found the morning shift chef
[01:45.93]and his two helpers busily chopping melons
[01:49.36]and getting the breakfast items
[01:51.49]out of the walk-in refrigerator.
[01:54.07]All denied that they had been in the dining room.
[01:58.06]I asked if anyone had come through the kitchen just then,
[02:02.43]but they said they had not seen anyone.
[02:06.66]This was a little creepy to me,
[02:09.26]but I shrugged 4 it off as I was behind schedule
[02:12.46]and needed to get to work.
