Wonders of the world

WONDERS OF THE WORLD (A GREAT STORY)

A teacher was encouraging her students to identify the seven wornders of the world. Watching a girl unable to pen them, she gave some clues to the girl.

Hinting about the great wall of china she said "Think of a wall that stood courageously against the hail storms and hurricanes" and continued describing panama canal "Irrespective of seasons it flow without stop against all odds".

The girl thought for a while and wrote. The teacher said. "Another wonder is a tower that slightly bent, but never accepts defeat. It leans but never falls". And then she gave about Taj Mahal. "People say it glitters in moon light. But if you have insight, you can see its glitter with your heart." The girl wrote. About Pyramids she pointed out "it is a monument, a symbol of concentration, science and hard work that time could never destory".

The teacher has been beckoned the girl to check what she wrote. The shy kid was hesitant, walked slowly abd showed the teacher her answers " Mahatma Gandhi .... Martin Luther King .... Mother Theresa ... Helen keller ... Albert Einstein"

Preflexed first, the teacher recovered to announce those names to other students. After a brief silence, the class room vibrated with claps and applauds !!!!
