The Starfish As I walked on the beach one morning, I saw a young man picking up starfish from the sand and flinging them back into the sea. I asked him what he was doing. "If I don't save them, they will die in the noonday sun," he replied. "But there are thousands of starfish on this beach," I replied. "What difference does it make to save just a few?" He looked down at the starfish in his hand and flung it to safety in the waves. "It makes a big difference to this one!" he said.
