As an old man walked along the beach at dawn,
he noticed a young man picking up starfish
and placing them back into the ocean.
He asked the young man what he was doing.
The boy answered, "The stranded starfish will die
if left until the morning sun."
The old man answered, "The beach goes on for miles
and there are millions of starfish.
How can your effort make any difference?"
The boy looked at the starfish in his hand and threw it
into the safety of the ocean.
"It makes a difference to this one
," he answered.
