I greet y'all!  Today I have in mind/intend to go through for you all an Aesop fable.  Now the name of this fable is "The Monkey and the Camel".
In a congress/convention/meeting of the animals a monkey, having arisen (= having picked himself up), began to dance.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἀσπάζομαι ὑμᾶς!  τήμερον ἐν νῷ ἔχω διέρχεσθαι ὑμῖν μῦθον Αἰσωπικόν.  τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τούτου τοῦ μύθου >.
ἐν συνόδῳ τῶν ζῴων πίθηκος ἀναστὰς (= ἑαυτὸν ἐπάρων) ὠρχεῖτο.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ὁ πίθηκος μάλα ἤρεσκε τοῖς ἄλλοις ζῴοις καὶ διὰ τοῦτο εὐδόκιμος ἐγενετο.
καὶ ὁ κάμηλος ἐβούλετο ἀρέσκειν τοῖς ἄλλοις ζῴοις καὶ εὐδόκιμος γενέσθαι.

English: 
The monkey was very pleasing to the other animals and accordingly became famous.
The camel too wanted to be pleasing to the other animals and to become famous.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ὁ οὖν κάμηλος ἀναστὰς ἐπειρᾶτο ὀρχεῖσθαι.  ἀλλὰ ὁ κάμηλος γελοίως (= ὥσπερ μῶρος) ὠρχεῖτο.

English: 
The camel therefore, having arisen (= having picked himself up), was trying to dance.  But the camel was dancing ridiculouslu (= like a moron).

Modern Greek (1453-): 
διὰ τοῦτο τὰ ἄλλα ζῷα ἠγανάκτει (= ὀργίλως εἶχε).
τὰ οὖν ἄλλα ζῷα τὸν κάμηλον ἐδίωξεν αὐτὸν τύπτοντα.

English: 
On account of this, the other animals began to be angry.
Then the other animals chased the camel while opening up a can of whoop-booty.

English: 
The story makes clear that it does not behoove us (= it is not good for us) to try to beat those better [than we].
Splended.  I am grateful to y'all.  See you later!

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