7 Wonders of the World
A group of students were asked to list what they
thought were the present
"Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were
some disagreements,
the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that
one student had not finished her paper yet. So she
asked the girl if she was having trouble with her
list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I
couldn't quite make up my mind because there were
so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have,
and maybe we can help.
"The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the
'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. And to Love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin
drop. The things we overlook as simple and
ordinary and that we take for granted are truly
wondrous!
A gentle reminder --
that the most precious things in life
cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
