Seven Wonders Of The World
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the
current
Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the
following got 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 quiet student
hadn't
turned in her paper yet. So she asked the student 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 touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love
The room was full of silence.
