Seven Wonders of the World

by Ken_Weaver - last update: Mar 11, 2006

Giza Pyramid- One of Seven Wonders?
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:
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 who had not returned her paper. 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 you out."

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. A gentle reminder to all of us that the most precious things are before you:
Your Family,
Your Faith,
Your Love,
Your Good Health
and Above All, Your Friends..
