¡Espere! No hay línea roja que atraviese esta señal. Eso significa que tenemos que ponernos zapatos de tacón para este sendero.

Wait! There's no red line through this sign. That means we have to put on stilettos for this trail.

  • ....línea (tilde) roja que atraviese esta señal. ( Or : esta señal no tiene ninguna línea roja atravesándola) Eso significa que tenemos que ponernos zapatos de tacón ( no article) para este sendero. Well done, pesta! And very funny! :D - cogumela Feb 9, 2011 flag
