Puddle on basement floor

When it rains more than 1", I find a small puddle on the basement floor. It is bone dry where the walls meet the floor. The puddle appears approx. two feet from the corner of the room.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it? Thanks.

Make sure guttters and downspouts are clear andd carry water away from house. Make sure soil around foundation carries away excess rain water. This resolves most basement water issues. Don't use splash guards that dump water near fcundation. Dump into drains in excess of 4 feet from foundation.
