The pattern and color reminiscent of an autumn crocus.

By popular demand, I try myself at an English translation. The instructions I have kept short and concise. (Aufvielfachen Wunsch versuche ich mich an einer englische Ubersetzung. Cerne arbeite ich Verbesserungsvorschlage ein. Ich habe die Anleitung kurz und pragnant gehalten.)

In German we say: „If it becomes too fine to the donkey, he goes on the black ice. “

(Bei uns in Deutschland heijit es: „ Wenn es dem Esel zu wohl wird, geht er aufs Glatteis/')
