One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a figure in the distance. As he got closer, he realized the figure was that of 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 into the ocean. The sun 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 possible make a difference!"
After listening politely, the boy bend down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, "I made a difference for that one."
