Once upon a time, there
was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He
had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work.
Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm
had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as
the eye could see, stretching in both directions.
Off in the
distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the
boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could
see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw
it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called
out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young boy paused,
looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed
them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the
youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back
into the water.”
The old man replied, “But
there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid
you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”
