1. The Great Pyramids of Egypt
2. The Taj Mahal The Taj Mahal Agra India
The Victoria Falls Zambia
The Empire State Building
The Grand Canyon
The Great Wall of China
The Panama Canal
While she was compiling the list, the teacher noticed that one young child had not handed in her paper.
She asked the young girl if she was having difficulty making up her list. The child replied: « Yes, a little. You see, it is so difficult to decide, because there are so many. »
The teacher said « Tell us those that you have, and we shall perhaps be able to help you. »
The young girl hesitated and then said « I think that the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. Seeing
2. Hearing
3. Touching
4. Tasting
5. Feeling
6. Laughing…
7. And Loving…
The Class remained in silence. These things are so simple and ordinary that we forget just how wonderful they are!
