The Victoria Falls Zambia

The Empire State Building

The Grand Canyon

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!
