Hello, students!  Today I want to tell you an Aesop fable.  The name of this story is "The Monkey and the Camel".

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἐν συνόδῳ τῶν ζῴων πίθηκος ἐπαίρει ἑαυτὸν καὶ ὀρχεῖται.
ὁ πίθηκος μάλα ἀρέσκει τοῖς ἄλλοις ζῴοις καὶ διὰ τοῦτο εὐδόκιμος γίγνεται.

In a convention of the animals a monkey stands up and dances.
The monkey is greatly pleasing to the other animals and accordingly becomes famous.

The camel also wants to be pleasing to the other animals and to become famous.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
καὶ ὁ κάμηλος βούλεται ἀρέσκειν τοῖς ἄλλοις ζῴοις καὶ εὐδόκιμος γενέσθαι.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ὁ οὖν κάμηλος ἐπαίρει ἑαυτὸν καὶ πειρᾶται ὀρχεῖσθαι.  ἀλλὰ ὁ κάμηλος γελοίως (= ὥσπερ μῶρος) ὀρχεῖται.
διὰ τοῦτο τὰ ἄλλα ζῷα ἀγανακτεῖ (= ὀργίλως ἔχει).

So the camel gets up and tries to dance.  But the the camel dances ridiculously (= like a moron).
On account of this, the other other animals get angry.

The story shows that we should not try to beat our betters.
The End.  I am grateful to y'all!  Goodbye!

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι οὐ δεῖ ἡμᾶς (= οὐκ ἀγαθόν ἐστιν ἡμῖν) πειρᾶσθαι νικήσαι τοὺς ἀμείνονας (= τοὺς μᾶλλον ἀγαθούς).
τέλος.  χάριν ὑμῖν οἶδα!  ἔρρωσθε!
