A man was walking along a beach during high tide when he noticed a little boy picking up stranded starfish and gently throwing them back into the ocean. Curious, he approached the boy and asked, “What are you doing son?”
The boy replied, “The tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”The man looked around and said, “But there are miles of beach and hundreds of starfish. You can’t possibly make a difference.” The youngster listened politely, bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Smiling, he said... “I bet you it made a difference for that one.”
