A group of American school children 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:
Egypt’s Great Pyramids
Taj Mahal
Grand Canyon
Panama Canal
Empire State Building
St. Peter’s Basilica
Great Wall of China
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not yet finished her paper. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The little girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there are 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 hear
To touch
To taste
To feel
To laugh
To love
The room was so quiet you could hear 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.
