Thank you very much!

There are a few corrections needed.

First, there is a repeat @2:07-2:13 "Tom paused, etc........."
Then at the end of the story @7:57 there is a 9 second pause before the outro, which is a bit long. If you could cut it down to no more than a few seconds, that would be great.

Also you need to say "End of Section five" for the outro (you left off five). And no more then 5 seconds at the end of the file. There are about 11.

All minor things. :-)

If you could fix these and reupload, that would be great!
