Original Text:
PARISIENS À LA CAMPAGNE.
- Nous sommes imprudents de nous aventurer de la sorte..... voilà là-bas quelque chose qui m'inquiète..... je ne sais pas s'il est prudent d'avancer....
- Mais, ce sont, je crois, des meules de blé..... - Je craignais que ce ne soient des huttes de sauvages!.....

Translation:
PARISIANS ON THE COUNTRYSIDE.
- Aren't we a bit too audacious to get involved in such an adventure.... down there I see something rather disturbing... I am not sure whether it is wise to advance any further.
- But I think these are simply millstones...
- And I was afraid these might be the huts of some savages!
