The Episode: A young man on the platform of a bus gets his feet trodden on by an older man whenever passengers get on. Later, the young man is seen on the corner of the street in conversation with a friend, who is advising him to have the top button of his overcoat lowered.
The Exercises: In the original version. Raymond Queneau explored the possibilities of language by relating this episode in ninety-nine different ways — as a dream, a cross-examination, an ode, in botanical terms, in various grammatical forms, and so forth.
The English Version: The programme consists of thirty of these Exercises, freely adapted to the English tongue.
