The Whirly Crank

I hopped straight onto the kitchen drying mat and came face to face with the clankiest metal contraption! It had two interlocking wire cages at the bottom and a big cogwheel on the side with a bright red knob. I wrapped both arms around the knob, dug my toes into the silicone ribs, and gave it an ambitious yank! Clatter-whirrr! The big wheel spun, and both wire beaters began dancing at dizzying speed, whipping past each other without colliding once! The cool morning breeze puffed right against my face, buzzing through my feet. I scrambled forward to crank it even faster—we had our very own two-headed whirlwind going!
