    • 2016, Αμάντα Μιχαλοπούλου, Έξω η ζωή είναι πολύχρωμη:
      Τώρα έχει μείνει ένα φαλακρό κτήμα, αλλά παλιά ήταν δίπατο σπίτι, είχε ελιές γύρω γύρω, κι ο γέρος μου, που κάποτε δεν ήταν καθόλου γέρος, έπαιζε μετ’ αδέρφια του μακριά γαϊδούρα.
      Tóra échei meínei éna falakró ktíma, allá paliá ítan dípato spíti, eíche eliés gýro gýro, ki o géros mou, pou kápote den ítan kathólou géros, épaize met’ adérfia tou makriá gaïdoúra.
      Now a barren farm remains, but in the olden days it was a duplex house; it had olives all around and my old man, who at one time wasn't old at all, used to play a kids' game with his brothers.
