Original Text:
UN PETIT JEU DE SOCIÉTÉ.
- Mouton vole, chameau vole, tailleur vole!... ah! un gage Mr. Théophile... un gage... vous n'avez pas levé le doigt au tailleur!... et pourtant aujourd'hui jusqu'aux enfans de sept ans tout le monde sait qu'un tailleur vole parfaitement.


Translation:
LITTLE CHILDREN'S GAME.
Sheep fly, camels fly, tailors fly!... ah! you lost, Monsieur Théophile, you lost! You didn't raise your finger when the tailor came up... but every child of seven years knows that a tailor can fly very well.
(Note: play on words: voler meaning to fly and to steal).
