Seven Other Wonders

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1.) Egypt's Great Pyramids
2.) The Taj Mahal
3.) The Grand Canyon
4.) The Panama Canal
5.) The 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, so she asked the girl if she was having trouble.

The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind. There are too many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read:

1.) To See
2.) To Hear
3.) To Touch
4.) To Taste
5.) To Feel
6.) To Laugh
7.) To Love

The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop. The things we take for granted are truly wondrous!
