Original Text:
LES JOURNAUX CHEZ L'ÉPICIER.
- V'la vot'déjeuner not'pratique..... deux sous de fromage et trois sous de journal..... il est bien fort ce matin!......
- Oui le gruyère.... il me semble assez vieux pour ça!... (à part) Jadis l'épicier servait du fromage frais entouré d'un vieux journal, aujourd'hui il vend du fromage passé sur un journal tout frais..... il n'y a pas compensation!


Translation:
NEWSPAPERS AT THE GROCER’S.
- Here is your lunch, as always: two sous worth of cheese, three sous worth of newspaper… pretty strong stuff this morning!…
- Well, the gruyere cheese seems quite old! (aside) in the old days the grocer sold fresh cheese wrapped in old paper, nowadays he sells old cheese in a new paper… makes no sense!
