Original Text:
COMME ON DEVIENT GRAND MATHÉMATICIEN.
- Mr. Moutonnet, vous avez encore commis une erreur dans votre calcul... vous me copierez six fois le verbe je me suis trompé dans mon addition!
(Mr. Moutonnet, devenu furieux, réplique par des signes qui ne sont point algébriques).

Translation:
HOW TO BECOME A GREAT MATHEMATICIAN.
Monsieur Moutonnet, you have made yet another error in your calculations... copy out for me six times the verb: I have made a mistake in my addition!
(Mr. Moutonnet, now furious, answers back with some signs, which really have very little in common with algebra)
