A man was walking on the beach and he noticed a boy throwing starfish back into the ocean. The man asked, why? The boy said the 'tide is out and the starfish will die.' The man said 'you can’t save all of the starfish there are miles and miles of beach.' The boy picked up a starfish and threw it into the ocean and said ‘ I made a difference for that one.’
