A group of students were asked to list names of the "Seven
Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the
following received the most votes:
1-The Pyramids, Egypt
2-Taj Mahal , India
3-Machu Picchu, Peru
4-Colossus of Rhodes, Greek
5-Mausoleum, Turkey
6-Angkor Wat, Cambodia
7-The Great Wall, China
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!
