THE STARFISH

=20


Once upon a time there was a wise man=20
who used to go to the ocean
to do his writing.=20
He had a habit of walking
on the beach=20
before he began his work.=20

One day he was walking along=20
the shore.=20
As he looked down the beach,=20
he saw a human=20
figure moving like a dancer.=20

He smiled to himself to think
of someone who would=20
dance to the day.=20
So he began to walk faster
to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw=20
that it was a young man=20
and the young man wasn't dancing,
but instead he was reaching=20
down to the shore,
picking up something=20
and very gently throwing it=20
into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out,
"Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man paused,
looked up and replied,=20
"Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked,
why are you throwing starfish
in the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out.=20
And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you realize that
there are miles and miles of beach=20
and starfish all along it.=20
You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely.=20
Then bent down, picked up another starfish=20
and threw it into the sea,=20
past the breaking waves and said-=20
"It made a difference for that one."
