"Ich füllte das Glas mit Mineralwasser auf und hielt es so, daß ich von außen und von oben hineinschauen konnte. Silbern und grau. Winzige Luftbläschen stiegen an die Oberflächem sahen mich mit einem *Krötenauge* an und zerplatzten." How can air bubbles look at you with a toad's eye, or am I missing something?
