Seven Wonders



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.
