Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἀσπάζομαι τοὺς μαθητάς τε καὶ τὰς μαθητρίας!  τήμερον μέλλω διέρχεσθαι ὑμῖν μῦθον Αἰσωπικὸν. τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τούτου τοῦ μύθου ἐστὶ >.

English: 
Greetings, students!  Today I am going to tell you an Aesop fable.  The name of this fable is "The Lioness and the Fox".

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἀλώπηξ τις κακῶς ἔλεγε λέαιναν διότι αὐτὴ διὰ παντὸς (χρόνου) (= ἀεί) ἓν μόνον τέκνον τίκτει.

English: 
A certain fox was talking smack about a lioness because she always bears one child only.

English: 
But the lioness answering said, "Yeah. One --  but a freakin' lion!"
This story shows that it does not behoove us (= it is not good for us) to be seeking The Beautiful/Noble/Fine in quantity, but in Excellence.

Modern Greek (1453-): 
ἡ δὲ λέαινα ἀποκρινομένη εἶπεν, >
οὗτος ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι οὐ δεῖ ἡμᾶς (= οὐκ ἀγαθόν ἐστιν ἡμῖν) ζητεῖν τὸ καλὸν ἐν ἀριθμῷ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν τῇ ἀρετῇ.

English: 
The End.  Thank you, students!  Until next time!

Modern Greek (1453-): 
τέλος.  χάριν ὑμῖν ἔχω, ὦ μαθηταί τε καὶ μαθήτριαι!  εἰς αὖθις!
