Like Androkulus and the Lion

For days now, I haven't been able to walk properly. There's a prickling sensation in my foot and I have to hobble through the wilderness!

The examination reveals a thorn in the Croc.

Zappa, the all-knowing problem solver, grabs his MacGyver equipment, examines, drills, picks, pulls, and tugs, and behold!

The nuisance is removed! At least 3cm long and sharp, sharp, sharp, it drilled through the entire sole and attacked my foot!

Finally, it's over now!

Gratitude is the sign of a noble soul - now we both have a reason on this journey to honor our noble characters...
