The Starfish Story

One early morning as I was walking along the beach

I discovered a figure at a distance moving like a dancer.

As I got closer I noticed that the figure was a young girl

Maybe 9-10 years old and she wasn't dancing.

She was reaching down to the shoreline

Picking up small objects and throwing them into the ocean…

As I came even closer, I said 'Good morning, what are you doing?'

She paused a little out of breath, looked up and said,

'Throwing starfish into the sea',

'Why are you throwing them back there?' I asked,

She said, 'The sun is getting hot and the tide is going out,

If I don't throw them in, they'll die'.

I couldn't help saying 'But there are miles of beach

And hundreds of starfish, d'you think it makes a difference?'

She gave me a very serious look and bent down picking up another starfish

And threw it into the sea,

As it splashed into the water she said

'It makes a difference to that one…'.
