The Starfish Award
Every day, an old man walked
the beach with a pail,
picking up starfish that had been washed in by the
tide, and throwing them back in the sea.
One day a young boy stopped the old man and asked,
"Why do you throw the Starfish back?
It doesn't matter. They will only wash up
on the shore again tomorrow."
The old man picked a starfish
out of his pail, threw it as far as he could into the
sea, and replied..........
"It mattered to this one."
