Wide Open!
The servant arrived at Sylvia's room upstairs. She knocked on the door, holding the vase in her left hand.
Sylvia opened the door and looked at the servant.
"Madam, I already finished cleaning the vase," the servant said.
"Give it to me," Sylvia ordered.
The servant handed the vase to her mistress.
Sylvia looked at the vase in her hand. "It's pretty!" she said. She looked at the servant. "Stay outside my room," she ordered and closed the door behind her.
The servant sat on the chair in the hallway, waiting for Madam's further commands.
Back in Sylvia's room.
She put the vase on the table and opened the lid, wondering what's inside? She put the lid on the table and took a peek inside the vase, but saw nothing!
She picked up the vase and turned it upside down, and shake it, still, nothing comes out! Ah, it's just an empty vase with a fancy lid. Nothing special about it. She thought that since the vase was found inside her grandfather's coffin, it will hold an ancient artifact.
