THE GROUP OF STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO LIST WHAT THEY THOUGHT WERE THE PRESENT ,
"SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD".
THOGH THERE WERE SOME DISAGREEMENTS, THE FOLLOWING RECEIVED THE MOST VOTE :
EGYPT'S GREAT PYRAMIDS
TAJ MAHAL
GRAND CANAL
PANAMA CANAL
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
ST. PETER'S BASILICA
CHINA'S GREAT WALL
WHILE GETHERING THE VOTES,
THE TEACHER NOTED THAT ONE STUDENT HAD NOT FINISHED 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 WAHT YOU HAVE, AND MAY BE WE CAN HELP."
THE GIRL HESITATED, THEN, READ: "I THINK THE 'SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD' ARE :
TO SEE...
TO HEAR...
TO TOUCH....
TO TASTE....
TO FEEL
TO LAUGH...
AND TO LOVE..."
THE ROOM WAS SO QUITE YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROPE. THE THINGS WE OVERLOOK AS SIMPLE AND ORDINARY AND THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED ARE TRULY WONDROUS!!!!
A GENTLE REMINDRE :
THAT THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN LIFE CANNOT BE BUILT BY HAND OR BOUGHT BY MAN.
DON'T BE TOO BUSY TO PASS THIS ALONG.
