The Young Woman and the Starfish

A man was taking a sunrise walk along the beach.
In the distance he caught sight of a young woman who seemed to be dancing along the waves. As he got closer he saw that the young woman was picking up starfish from the sand and tossing them back into the ocean.

“What are you doing?” the man asked.
“The sun is coming up and the tide is going out; if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”
“But, there are miles and miles of beach with starfish all along it – you can’t possibly make a difference.”

The young woman bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it back into the ocean. “It made a difference to that one,” she replied.

Love never fails
