CANADA: LAND OF MYSTERY
When 'loose snakes' mysteriously appeared on the sidewalk, he stepped in to help
But it turns out, upon further investigation, that they were not in fact snakes:
When the truck awkwardly hit the curb, a lot of water sloshed onto the sidewalk. "Suddenly, I realized that something is moving," said Pourazam. "[I went] 'Oh what is that? Is that snakes?'" "I went closer and saw no, they are eels," he said. "At that moment I didn't know what to do."
