The Starfish

By chris • June 15, 2015

One day after a high tide, many starfish were brought to the shore. They started drying up in the sun. A boy, walking down the shore, started placing the starfish back into the sea one by one.

A stranger who saw what he was doing walked up to him and asked:

"Why are you doing this? Look around! There are millions of starfish; the shore is covered with them. Your attempts won't change anything!"

The boy picked up another starfish, thought for a moment, placed it into the sea and said:

"No, my attempt will change a lot... for this starfish."
