He noticed a little boy bending over and tossing starfishes into the sea. The old man watched for a while and then decided this was ridiculous and walked up to the boy. He spoke in a disgusted voice, “You can’t possibly save all of them,” he snorted. “There are thousands! Why even bother?” He stood with his hands on his hips and looked down at the boy.
The boy looking up and down the beach, shrugged his shoulders and replied, “You are right. I can’t possibly save all of them.” He bent down and picked up a starfish and explained, “But I can save this one,” and he threw the starfish into the sea. Then he picked up another and exclaimed, “And this one!” The boy continued down the beach saving and exclaiming as he went, “And this one!”
