We admit it's a hard trick, but nobody's pushing him

Uncle Sam is seen promising a boy (Europe) with his hands tied (financial handicaps) not to drown him if he dares grab one of the apples (Greece debt, Roumanian debt, Italian debt, French debt) floating on a bucket (repayment of American loans) with his mouth. A few apples (Lithuanian debt, Finland debt, Hungarian debt, Polish debt, Belgium debt) are laying outside the bucket, and one apple (British debt) sits atop a table.
