Here is the text of the recording:

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Use the read and look up technique*:

Please call Stella. / Ask her / to bring these things / with her from the store: / Six spoons / of fresh snow peas, / five thick slabs / of blue cheese, / and maybe a snack / for her brother Bob. / We also need / a small plastic snake / and a big toy frog / for the kids.

* If you haven't tried the read and look up technique yet, you should! Here's the podcast where I explained and introduced it:
