Make a difference.

The Starfish Story

by Loren

One day a man was walking along the beach

when he noticed 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 starfish back into the ocean."

The surf is up and the tide is going out.

"If I don't throw them back, they'll die."

"Son," the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach

and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!

"After listening politely, the boy bent down and picked up another starfish

and threw it back into the surf.

Then, smiling at the man he said..."I made a difference for that one."
