The Starfish Story
At dawn, an old man was walking along the beach, where thousands of starfish were stranded and lay dying because of the low tide. The man saw a little boy throwing the starfish back into the sea. Thinking himself wise, the man said,
“Why are you doing that? It won’t make any difference.” The boy bent down, picked up a starfish, threw it back into the sea and said:
"It made a difference to that one."
