Once there was a man who was walking along the beach in the
early morning. He noticed another man
on the beach a distance ahead of him doing a strange dance. The man caught up with the ‘dancing’ man
and spoke to him saying “lovely morning” the man who had been doing the
‘dance’ replied “ yes lovely”. The first man was overcome with curiosity and said he had
seen the other man doing his ‘dance’.
“I was not dancing” he replied “I was throwing starfish back into the
sea before they die.” The first man
had not noticed but the beach was covered with dying starfish. So the ‘dancing’ man picked up another
dying starfish and threw it into the sea so it might live. The first man said “you know you are
wasting your time don’t you, there are so many starfish, throwing a few back
in, will make no difference. The ‘dancing’ man picked up another
starfish and threw it into the sea and said “well it made a difference to
that one!” |
