Description	The text primarily discusses adapted books for foreigners and the methods used to modify original Czech literary works into versions tailored for non-native speakers. The key focus of the article is a comparison between the original and adapted versions of Josef Čapek’s Povídání o pejskovi a kočičce. Specifically, it examines language units and the use (or avoidance) of figurative expressions in both texts. This research aims to explore the viability of the chosen topic. The findings will serve as a basis for comparing other adapted works for foreigners across various language proficiency levels (A1–B2 based on the CEFR).
