    Given that this lion is vomiting an iron ring and rods, rather than chains, is it in rude health?

    I’ve heard the story of the time the mouse helped a lion by extracting a thorn from the lion’s paw, but this is the first time I’ve come across the lesser-known sequel, wherein a mouse helps a lion extract a wisdom tooth via the use of some impressive dental implements.
