A group of Geography students studied the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of that section, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:

The Anticipated 7 Wonders of the World

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, a quiet girl, hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.

The quiet girl replied:

“Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.”

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 touch

2. To taste

3. To see

4. To hear

. . . She hesitated a little, and then . . .

5. To run

6. To laugh

7. And to love
