Several years ago our granddaughter was visiting with us from her home province of Nova Scotia. As it was a hot summer's day we took her to a local park where there was a lovely swimming area. After a few minutes of swimming, some kind of fish were swimming around her feet. She was frightened, screamed, and ran out onto the beach. A young boy close to her own age, asked her what was wrong. She explained what had happened and he laughed. He told her they were eels as it was a breeding ground and they usually hung around the area. She asked him if they would bite a person. He replied, "only if you step on them." She then said, "how do you know if you step on them?"  His quick reply was, "when they bite you."
