Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out.  If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son, the man said, don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
