Thought of the Month - The Starfish

Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

 

As he got closer he called out, "Good morning!

What are you doing?"

The young man paused, looked up and replied,

"Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, WHY are you

throwing starfish in the ocean?"

"The sun is up, and the tide is going out, and if

I don't throw them in they'll die." Read More http://www.whitestractors.com.au/blog/247-thought-of-the-month-the-starfish.html
