Hallie and her friend Gloria were early for their ESL class.
“Did you have good weekend, Gloria?” Hallie asked.
“Yes,” Gloria replied, “but my children kept me very busy! My youngest son, Alonso, is a little monkey! His favourite toy is the toilet! He loves to throw things into it. Then he flushes the toilet and watches the things go around and around! Yesterday, I had to call a plumber to unplug the toilet. It was very expensive!”
“Oh, no!” Hallie said. “I can tell you how to do it. Don’t call a plumber unless you really need to. “First, put on some rubber gloves. It’s a dirty job. “Next, put old newspapers all around the toilet. You might get water on the floor. “Third, get a plunger. It’s the most important tool. “Take some of the water from the toilet, if you can. “Then you are ready to plunge. Push and pull the plunger up and down in the toilet. You don’t have to be fast, just keep going. Keep plunging for a few minutes.
“If that doesn’t work, call me, not a plumber.”
