This is my code.

```python
# Lure the ogres into a trap. These ogres are careful.
# They will only follow if the hero is injured.

# This function checks the hero's health 
# and returns a Boolean value.
def shouldRun():
    if hero.health < hero.maxHealth / 2:
        return True
    else:
        return False
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
run = shouldRun()
while True:
    # Move to the X only if shouldRun() returns True
    if run == True:
        hero.moveXY(75, 37)
    # Else, attack!
    else:
        hero.attack(enemy)

```

I’ve read multiple topics for this one. It just makes me even more confused and I cannot get Alejandro to stop standing in one place after he says “…but it’s dead.” after he kills an ogre.  
I’m stumped and I’ve no clue what to do.

Add parentheses to the end of this.

> ```python
> enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
> run = shouldRun
> 
> ```

Move this inside the while True loop.
