The Starfish Story

One day a man was walking along a beach, when he noticed a boy hurriedly throwing things into the ocean. Approaching the boy the man asked ' Young man , what are you doing?'

The boy replied, ' Throwing Starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out.If I don't throw them back they will die'

The man laughed and said ' Don't you realise there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of Starfish? You can't make any difference'

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another Starfish and threw it into the surf. Then smiling at the man the boy said,

' I made a difference to that one'
