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.
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.
