How Bassey Created A Haunted Kitchen

Once upon a time, there lived a seemingly perfect couple with their son, a steward called Bassey, and a maid. Though Bassey was a dutiful steward, he couldn’t keep his hands off his master’s gin. He would take from his master’s gin with impunity, and then add water. And when accused, he would say, “Master, I swear to God in heaven, I never touch your drink. You know, some of these drinks are fake.”

One day, the master secretly put a liqueur in the gin bottle. As usual, Bassey took from the gin bottle and when he added water, the content turned milky white. Confused, Bassey just stayed put in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the husband has told his wife, what he had done to be able to nail Bassey. So, while the husband and wife were sitting in the living room, the husband called, “Bassey!” And Bassey answered, “Yes, master.” He then asked, “Who drank from my gin?” And when Bassey didn’t answer, he went and dragged him from the kitchen to the living room.

“Why didn’t you answer my question?” The husband demanded. “What question? I only heard you call my name. I have observed that when I am in the kitchen, I can only hear my name. There is something mysterious going on in there.” Furious, the husband said, “Liar, you stand here by madam, and I shall go in there, and you call me and ask a question.” And the husband went into the kitchen. Then Bassey called, “Master!” And the husband answered, “Yes, Bassey.” And Bassey asked, “Who sneaks into the maid’s room, when madam isn’t at home?” Without answering, the husband came out and said, “It’s true, I could only hear my name while there.”

Though perplexed, the wife said, “You both can’t be serious. I shall go in there, while you call and ask a question. And the wife went into the kitchen. Immediately, Bassey called, “Madam!” And the wife answered, “Yes, Bassey I can hear you.” And Bassey asked, “Who is junior’s biological father? Is it me, or master?” Immediately, the wife ran out screaming, “My kitchen is haunted!”
