Rafael worked at the shop for two years. He always closes carefully every night. Tonight felt different from the start.
拉斐尔在这家店工作了两年。他每晚关店都很仔细。但今晚一开始就有点不一样。
Rafael counted the cash drawer at closing time. The number was five dollars short. He counted it a second time.
打烊的时候，拉斐尔清点了钱箱。数目少了五美元。他又数了一遍。
The number stayed the same. Rafael felt worried. He did not want to blame anyone.
数字没有变。拉斐尔觉得很不安。他不想怪任何人。
He opened the day's receipts on the screen. He checked each sale one by one. Most transactions matched perfectly.
他在屏幕上打开了当天的收据。他一笔一笔地核对每一次销售。大部分交易都完全对得上。
Then he found something strange. One return appeared twice on the list. The same shirt, the same time, the same price.
然后他发现了一件奇怪的事。有一笔退货在清单上出现了两次。同一件衬衫，同一个时间，同一个价格。
Rafael checked the return slips in the drawer. Only one paper return slip sat there. Somebody entered it twice by mistake.
拉斐尔检查了钱箱里的退货单。那里只有一张纸质退货单。有人不小心录入了两次。
He called his manager over to the counter. "I found the problem," Rafael said. "A return got entered two times."
他把经理叫到柜台边。“我找到问题了，”拉斐尔说，“有一笔退货被录入了两次。”
His manager checked the screen carefully. "You're right," she said. "That explains the missing five dollars."
经理仔细看了看屏幕。“你说得对，”她说，“这就解释了为什么少了五美元。”
She fixed the mistake and printed a new report. "Great job finding this," she said. Rafael felt relieved and locked the register.
她改正了错误，打印了一份新的报表。“你找出来了，真棒。”她说。拉斐尔松了一口气，锁上了收银机。
He walked out to his car and smiled.
他走向自己的车，笑了。
