2/52 Life is a Rainbow : "White - Blanco"

 

One day a man was walking along the beach when

he noticed a boy picking up and gently throwing

things into the ocean.

 

Approaching the boy he asked: "Young man, what

are you doing?"

 

The boy replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean.

The surf is up and the tide is going out.

If I don't throw them back, they'll die.

 

The man laughed to himself and said, "Do you realize

there are miles of miles of miles of beach and

hundreds of starfish?" You can't make any difference."

 

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up

another starfish and threw it into the surf, then

smiling at the man, he said: "I made a difference to that one."
