As he got closer, he realized the figure was that of a boy picking something up, and
gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy,he asked"what are you doing?"
The youth replied, "throwing a starfish into the ocean,soon the tide is going out,
if I don't throw them back,they'll die. "Son,the man said, don't you realize that there are...
miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? you can't possibly make a difference."
After listening politely the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf.
Then, smiling at the man he said"I make a difference for that one."
