English: 
Greetings, (male and female) students!
Today I want to tell (to) you an Aesop fable about a wicked man.
 

Modern Greek (1453-): 
χαίρετε, ὦ μαθηταί τε καὶ μαθήτριαι!
τήμερον βούλομαι ἐγὼ ὑμῖν διέρχεσθαι μῦθον Ἀσωπικὸν περὶ ἀνθρώπου κακοῦ.
 

English: 
A certain wicked man kills someone.
On account of this, the wicked man is being pursued/prosecuted.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἄνθρωπός τις κακὸς ἄλλον ἄνθρωπον ἀποκτείνει.
διὰ τοῦτο, ὁ κακὸς διώκεται.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἐπειδὴ δὲ ὁ κακὸς φεύγει πρὸς τὸν Νεῖλον, λέοντα ὁρᾷ.
μάλα φοβούμενος ἀναβαίνει εἰς δένδρον.

English: 
When/after the wicked man flees to the Nile, he sees a lion.
Very frightened, he climbs up a tree.

English: 
But in the tree suddenly he finds a snake.
Again he is afraid and, what's more, throws himself into the river.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἐν δὲ τῷ δένδρῳ ἐξαίφνης εὑρίσκει δράκοντα.
αὖθις φοβεῖται καὶ δὴ καὶ ῥίπτει ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὸν ποταμόν.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἐν δὲ τῷ ποταμῷ τοῦτον κροκόδειλος κατεσθίει.
ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι τοὺς κακοὺς καὶ ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ ἀὴρ καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ οὐ σῴζουσιν.
τέλος!

English: 
But in the river a crocodile gobbles this man up.
The story makes clear that both earth and air and water do not save the wicked.
The End.

English: 
Thank you, students!  Goodbye, (everybody)!

Modern Greek (1453-): 
χάριν ὑμῖν ἔχω, ὦ μαθηταί τε καὶ μαθήτριαι!  ἔρρωσθε!
