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 was some disagreement, the following got the most
votes:
-
Egypt's Great Pyramids
-
Taj Mahal
-
Grand Canyon
-
Panama Canal
-
Empire State Building
-
St. Peter's Basilica
-
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 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:
-
to see
-
to taste
-
to touch
-
to hear
She hesitated a
little, and then added,
-
to feel
-
to laugh, or Smile
-
and most of all
..... to love
The room was
so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook
as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder for this
coming year that the most precious things in life cannot be bought, or
built.
