A man saw an old woman stooped over a beach covered with starfish.
He asked her what she was doing to which she replied,"I am throwing the starfish back into the sea; if I dont they will dry up and die."
Laughing the man said,"But, Old Woman , there are so many starfish on the beach, you can't possibly make a difference."
She picked up a starfish and threw it back into the sea. Then looking at the man, she said, "I just did to that one."
The next day the old woman visited the beach to check on the starfish. She saw the same manand his children throwing the starfish back into the sea. "Hello, Old Woman, he said with fulfillment in his eyes, "we are here to make a difference to a few more starfish."
