The Boy that saved the Starfish.


"Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die." Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!" At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "I made a difference to that one!"

When this little boy threw this little starfish in the ocean, I think he knew what he was doing because without an instant he told the old man "I made a difference to that one." This old man was probably wise... Wise as can be but there is no such thing as someone learning to much, You never stop learning. It starts when your young and keeps going when your old. The man did not question but maybe the man learned a lesson.
