StoryStory

distance he caught sight of a young man who seemed to be dancing
along the waves. As he got closer, the wise man saw the young
man was picking starfish from the sand and tossing them back into
the ocean.
• “What are you doing?” the wise man asked.
• “The sun is coming up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw
them in, they will all die,” replied the young man.
• “But young man, there are miles and miles of beach with starfish all
along it. You can’t possibly make a difference,” argued the wise
man.
• The young man bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it
lovingly back into the ocean, past the breaking waves.
