If you were in the shoes of a hero, you should kill the dragon

A bit familiar, maybe!

Peer comment(s):

agree	Leonardo Marcello Pignataro (X) : I think "versus" is a typo for "verus" so: If you really were an hero, you'd kill the dragon! / Do dare, you have the competence and the skills to! :-) 5 hrs
	Agree with you but I dared not!
agree	Joseph Brazauskas : 'Verus' seems likely for 'versus', but the trans. would have to be, 'If you had been a true hero, you would kill the dragon', and that doesn't make sense to me. 2 days 6 hrs
	Thanks!
agree	Egmont 3 days 4 hrs
	Thanks and have a nice week-end!
