THE
SEVEN
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.
