Seven Wonders of the World

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the
World."

Taj Mahal
Grand Canyon
Panama Canal
Empire State Building
St. Peter's Basilica
China's Great Wall

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:

ordinary; and that we take for granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder -- that the most
precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
