Story

edit

Inventions

edit
  • divan : highly comfortable divan, full of late readers' letters
  • giant shoe :shoe made for a shoes seller
  • a giant aquarium: a network of pipes in which water flows
  • scented aerosol: a revolutionary substance through which the light can not go
  • machine to play cup-and-ball: device badly adjusted, so that it can hit the user
  • gas generator: engine fed with fuel, but too much polluting
  • miniature plane: this plane perfectly works, but the radio control turns out to control a Russian satellite
