Starfish thrower

Sat Feb 4, 2006, 12:55 PM
A story..........
a man was on a beach and in the distance he sees a another man doing something. As he gets closer he sees that the man is throwing something into the sea.
When he gets closer he asks the man " what are you doing?" the man points out thousands of starfish on the beach. " do you see these starfish? if they remain on the beach then they will die"
The first man then says "but there are so many, how can you make a difference?"
The second man picks up a starfish and flings it into the sea and says " I made a difference to that one"

A random act of kindness, no matter how small can make a difference. Be a starfish thrower=D
