Seven Wonders of the World – The Pen Magazine

One day a teacher asked his students to write a list of the things which are worth being among the Seven Wonders of the World in their opinion.

While taking their papers the teacher realized a girl did not complete her list yet.

“Is it this difficult?” the teacher asks.

“Yes, a bit. I just cannot decide; there are so many.” the student replies.

“Tell us what you have written until now, maybe we can help you complete the list.” says the teacher.

After a moment of hesitation, she tells the following loudly:

The Seven Wonders of the World, I believe, are these:

Seeing
Hearing
Touching
Tasting
Feeling
Laughing
Loving

The entire class falls into a silence for quite some time.

All the things around us, which we have got used to and fail to notice anymore, are actually extraordinary wonders of the world!
