Ἄρκτος: Η ΜΕΝ ΕΛΕΦΑΣ ΕΣΤΙ ΦΟΒΕΡΑ, Ο Δ’ ΕΓΩ,  ΑΡΚΤΟΣ ΟΝΟΜΑΤΙ, ΑΦΟΒΟΣ ΕΙΜΙ, ΑΝΔΡΕΙΟΣ ΕΙΜΙ, ΕΓΩ ΓΑΡ ΕΙΜΙ -
Ἀγάπη: παῦσαι λέγων, ὦ φίλε, πρὸς ὀλίγον.
ἐθέλομεν γὰρ ἀκούειν τῆς Ἐλέφαντος. Ὦ Ἐλέφαν, θάρρει, μὴ φοβοῦ! Τίς εἶ; Τί ἀρέσκει σοι ποιεῖν;
Ἐλέφας: Ἐγώ εἰμι μουσική. Ἀρέσκει μοι ἡ μουσικὴ τέχνη.
Ἀγάπη: ὦ Ἄρκτε καὶ Ὗ, τίς ἐστιν αὕτη;
Ὗς: αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ καλλίστη ἄγγελος ἡ τῶν Μουσῶν.
Ἄρκτος: ΟΥΔΑΜΩΣ! ΑΥΤΗ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΜΟΥΣΙΚΗ! ΑΡ’ ΟΥΤΟΣ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΚΩΦΟΣ;
Ἐλέφας: χάριν σοι ἔχω, ὦ Ὗ. Τίς εἶ σύ; Τί ἀρέσκει σοι ποιεῖν;

Modern Greek (1453-): 
Ὗς: Ἐγώ εἰμι φιλόσοφος.
Ἀρέσκει μοι ἀναγιγνώσκειν καὶ ζητεῖν τὴν ἀλήθειαν καὶ ἡσυχάζειν.
Ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι πένης, οὐδὲ φιλάργυρος.
Ὄλβιος γὰρ εἰμι, καὶ ἥδομαι τῷ βίῳ. Ὁ Ἀριστοτέλης λέγει ὅτι ἀσχολούμεθα γὰρ ἵνα σχολάζωμεν (1177b), ἀλλὰ ἐγὼ σχολάζω ἵνα σχολάζω.
Ἀγάπη: Τίς ἐστιν οὗτος;
Ἐλέφας: οὗτος ἐστιν ἀστεῖος.

Pig: I am a philosopher.
I like to read and think (“search for truth”) and chill out.
I am poor, but not money-loving.

Elephant: He is witty.
Bear: WHAT? NO!
HE IS LAZY AND A BEGGAR WHILE I AM STRONG AND RICH. FOR I AM HEALTHY.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ΟΥΤΟΣ ΜΕΝ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΠΑΧΥΣ, ΕΓΩ ΔΕ ΕΙΜΙ ΛΕΠΤΟΣ, ΟΥΤΟΣ ΜΕΝ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΒΑΡΥΣ, ΕΓΩ ΔΕ ΕΙΜΙ ΚΟΥΦΟΣ. ΕΓΩ ΓΑΡ ΕΙΜΙ -
Ἀγάπη: Ἄρκτε! Σὺ οὐκ ἀστεῖον, ἀλλ᾽ ἄγροικον λέγεις! ἀστειότερος ἴσθι, ἀντιβολῶ!
Ὗς: μὴ φροντίζετε! οὗτος μόνον μοι τῆς ἐπιστήμης καὶ τῆς σοφίας φθονεῖ.
Ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι πλούσιος καἰ παχὺς κατὰ τὴν ἐπιστήμην καὶ σοφίαν. Ὥς Ἡρόδοτος λέγει, ὅσῳ φθονέεσθαι κρέσσον ἐστὶ ἢ οἰκτείρεσθαι (3.52).
