The Star Thrower
|
 |
There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been
washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them
back into the ocean. The man observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing.
The boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die.
The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever?
The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said
"Made a difference to that one..."
