The 7 wonders of the world ( Archived) (15)

Jul 15, 2007 4:22 PM CST The 7 wonders of the world
I can't read this without my eyes beginning to tingle.

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:
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 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 touch
2. To taste
3. To see
4. To hear
She hesitated a little, and then added...
5. To feel
6. To laugh
7. And To love...
The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin
drop.

Well, either the girl doesn't know the meaning of "wonder" or I don't. I'm rarely wrong though. tongue

Maybe if she had used the word miracles...after all none of her chosen wonders are man-made.

I still wouldn't consider those things "miracles" either. They were just senses and emotions.

You don't have to agree. But can you create or invent them all by yourself?

You mean the things she listed? Of course not, they already exist. Just because something cannot be created by man doesn't make it automatically a miracle or wonder. Although in this case it would actually be possible, if I decided to have a child. grin

The lady forgot 'to breathe' in her list.......you can't do any of the other seven for very long if you're choking to death on a fish bone while admiring the Taj Mahal or a beautiful woman! blushing
