How to Help
An old man and a young boy were walking along a beach.
As they walked the old man picked up each starfish he passed and threw it into the sea.
The young boy asked "Why?"
"If I left them here," the man said, "they would dry up in the sun and die. I'm saving their lives."
"But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish," the young boy said.
"How can what you're doing make any difference at all?"
The man looked at the starfish in his hand, threw it into the ocean, and answered,
"It makes a difference to this one."
