A young
girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been
washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she
would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her
with amusement.
She had
been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said,
“Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save
all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl
seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent
down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into
the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,
“Well, I made a difference to that one!”
