That when others trem- ble, come over in a cold sweat and their stomachs clench… heroes feel nothing. They throw themselves into battle and win, without even a drop of sweat on their ear. Finito. Well, it’s not true! Whatever people might think, it’s not true: heroes get scared! Real heroes, in fact, get really scared all the time! But they fight their fear and get over it. And Hercules, the hero of heroes, knew very well what it meant to be afraid. Since he was a baby he knew how to fight his fear and beat it. But in his final labour he faced the fear of all fears. He fought it. And he beat it too. Without even a single weapon! WORD GAME
