The Starfish

Once a boy saw an old man in the distance while walking down in a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he drew nearer, he noticed that his local native kept leaning down, picking something and throwing into the sea. As the boy came closer to him, he became puzzled to see that the local native was throwing the starfish back into the sea which had washed up on the beach. Then the boy asked the man reason for doing this. The man replied that they had been washed up on the beach. If he didn’t throw them into the sea, they would die from lack of oxygen. The boy said again, “But there must be a thousand of starfish which have been washed up on the shore. You can’t possibly get to all of them. You can’t possibly make a difference.” The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish. As he threw it back into the sea, he replied, “I can make a difference to that one!”

Moral : Do good and forget.
