I also supplemented this lesson with the "Stages of Life" from LinguaHouse [LINK HERE]. You do have to create an account to access their materials, but it's all free and easy, and so far I haven't had any trouble from them.

There are several mistakes in this transcript. Listen, and correct the mistakes.
In the story of the Sphinx, the answer to the question is “man”. This is because, a baby moves using two hands and two feet. An adult moves on two legs and an old person walks on two legs but also uses a walking stick. In the question the Sphinx also talks about three different times of the day: morning, noon, and evening. These parts of the day represent the different stages of our life. Morning is children. Noon is the middle of our life. Evening is elder. In the original Egyptian story, the Sphinx killed many travelers because they didn’t know the answer. Finally, one man answered the question correctly. He was Oedipus and when he answered “human”, the Sphinx killed him.
