THE 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 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 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

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!
A gentle reminder -- that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
