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.
