Even a rat may help to free a lion --La Fontaine / Keppler.

Illustration shows a Uncle Sam as a lion trapped in a net labeled "Lobbyism" and a small rat, identified as "Col. Mulhall", sitting on the ground before him. The U.S. Capitol, in the background, is also ensnared by the same net as Uncle Sam.
