The Real Seven Wonders of the World

Wonders Of The World Twist
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the “Seven Wonders of the World.” Here’s what they came up with: 1) Egypt’s Great Pyramids 2) Taj Mahal 3) Grand Canyon, 4) Panama Canal, 5) Empire State Building 6) St. Peters Basilica 7) China’s Great Wall. As the teacher picked up the votes she noticed one student had not finished her paper yet. She asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, “Yes, a little. 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 2) To Hear 3) To Touch 4) To Taste 5) To Feel 6) To Laugh 7) And to Love. The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand.
