Today this person came to fix our sink.  He used a power snake.  The power snake unclogged our sink.   It went all the way down to the sewer.  The power snake pushed all the mud, dirt and grease and plaster and icky stuff into the sewer.  Some of the stuff in the pipes got stuck to the snake, because when he pulled it back out it had brown, black, and white squishy stuff stuck to it.  The power snake was noisy.  It sounded like someone screaming.  It sounded like a motorcycle going past your car.  It sounded like an air compressor.  The snake was on a square frame with a wheel inside.  The wheel looked like General Grievous' ship from Star Wars, except for no legs.  When the man was using the snake, the wheel spun like a hamster’s wheel.  He controlled the whole thing using his knee, pressing a pad on the floor.  Now our sink isn’t clogged.
