A STARFISH STORY

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A WISE OLD MAN WHO

USED TO GO TO THE OCEANTO DO HIS WRITING .

HE HAD A HABIT OF WALKING

ON THE BEACH BEFORE HE BEGAN HIS WORK…..

ONE EARLY MORNING HE WAS WALKING ALONG THE SHORE,

AND 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 HE WAS A YOUNG MAN , AND THE YOUNG MAN WAS NOT DANCING ..

INSTEAD HE WAS REACHING DOWN TO THE SHORE , PICKING

UP SOMETHING , AND VERY GENTLY THROWING IT INTO THE

OCEAN….

AS THE OLD MAN GOT CLOSER , HE CALLED OUT ,

“GOOD MORNING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?”

THE YOUNG MAN PAUSED AND REPLIED, “THROWING

STARFISH INTO THE OCEAN..”

THE YOUNG MAN CONTINUED..

“AS THE SUN IS UP AND THE TIDE IS

GOING OUT….IF I DON’T THROW

THEM IN , THEY WILL DIE……”

“BUT, YOUNG MAN,” SAID THE OLDER, “DON’T YOU REALIZE

THAT THERE ARE MILES AND MILES OF BEACH AND THERE ARE TENS

OF THOUSANDS OF STARFISH ALL ALONG IT …..YOU CAN’T MAKE A

DIFFERENCE..”

THE YOUNG MAN LISTENED POLITELY

THEN HE BENT DOWN , PICKED UP ANOTHER

STARFISH AND THREW IT INSIDE THE SEA, OUTPAST THE BREAKING WAVES AND

SAID……..

“I MADE A DIFFERENCE TO THAT ONE….”

MORAL OF THE STORY….

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE...
