The Starfish

A young boy went to the beach one morning and found that a storm had washed up thousands of starfish. He immediately began to throw them back in, one at a time. An old man walked by and asked him what he was doing.The boy explained that the stranded starfish would die. “But the beach goes on for miles and there are thousands of starfish,” exclaimed the old man. “How can you possibly make any difference?” The boy looked at the starfish in his hand and then tossed it safely into the waves. He turned to him, smiled and said,

“It made a difference to that one.”
