A STARFISH STORY
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A WISE OLD MAN WHO
USED TO GO TO THE OCEANTO DO HIS WRITING .
HE HAD A HABIT OF WALKING
ON THE BEACH BEFORE HE BEGAN HIS WORK…..
ONE EARLY MORNING HE WAS WALKING ALONG THE SHORE,
AND AS HE LOOKED DOWN THE BEACH, HE SAW A HUMAN
FIGURE MOVING LIKE A DANCER.
HE SMILED TO HIMSELF TO THINK OF SOMEONE WHO
WOULD DANCE TO THE DAY.
SO HE BEGAN TO WALK FASTER TO CATCH UP...
AS HE GOT CLOSER, HE SAW THAT HE WAS A YOUNG MAN , AND THE YOUNG MAN WAS NOT DANCING ..
INSTEAD HE WAS REACHING DOWN TO THE SHORE , PICKING
UP SOMETHING , AND VERY GENTLY THROWING IT INTO THE
OCEAN….
AS THE OLD MAN GOT CLOSER , HE CALLED OUT ,
“GOOD MORNING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?”
THE YOUNG MAN PAUSED AND REPLIED, “THROWING
STARFISH INTO THE OCEAN..”
THE YOUNG MAN CONTINUED..
“AS THE SUN IS UP AND THE TIDE IS
GOING OUT….IF I DON’T THROW
THEM IN , THEY WILL DIE……”
“BUT, YOUNG MAN,” SAID THE OLDER, “DON’T YOU REALIZE
THAT THERE ARE MILES AND MILES OF BEACH AND THERE ARE TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF STARFISH ALL ALONG IT …..YOU CAN’T MAKE A
DIFFERENCE..”
THE YOUNG MAN LISTENED POLITELY
THEN HE BENT DOWN , PICKED UP ANOTHER
STARFISH AND THREW IT INSIDE THE SEA, OUTPAST THE BREAKING WAVES AND
SAID……..
“I MADE A DIFFERENCE TO THAT ONE….”
MORAL OF THE STORY….
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE...
