Starfish

My dad once told me a story. It was during one of those chats we had while we were commuting from a place to another. There were several versions to this story too. The original story was written by Loren Eisley. This was what my dad told me:
There was a boy who was walking along the sea shore one evening. As he strolled, he could hear the crashing of waves, see the beautiful sunset, and smell the relaxing sea breeze. It was his favourite past time.

While walking, he saw that there were many starfish that were swept onto the shore by the waves. The boy then picked them up, one by one, and cast them back into the ocean.
A man saw the boy from a distance, went up to him and asked him, "What are you doing young lad?"
"I'm throwing starfish back into the sea," the boy replied. "Otherwise they would all die when the tide is out."
"Why boy, do you know that there are too many starfish along this shore? What difference will it make?"
The boy picked up another starfish, smiled at the man, and spoke "It will make a difference to this one."
And he threw it back to the ocean.
