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 studenthad not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl ifshe 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:
to hear
to touch
to see
to feel
to laugh
to love
to taste
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!
