The Starfish StoryStarfish are elegant creatures. Their nearly perfect five points make for a beautifully symmetric creature that has been marveled at, and if you’ve seen a starfish up close, you’ve most likely been entranced by its beautiful form. The Starfish Story is a tale that will undoubtedly leave you speechless, and is a moral for all to heed. The heartwarming story goes like this:
A businessman was on vacation, walking along the beach, and saw a young boy.
All along the shore were starfish that had washed up from the tide, and were likely to die in the hot sun.
The boy walked along the shore and reached down here and there to pick up a starfish and toss it back into the ocean.
The businessman, so accustomed to efficiency, walked up to the boy to tell him about his nonsensical ways.
"I’ve noticed what you’ve been doing, son. You have a warm heart and I know you mean well, but there’s so many starfish dying on beaches all over the world. I’m sure you could do something better with your time. Do you really think this is going to make a difference?"
The boy glanced up at the man, and looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the beautiful starfish and tossed it back into the ocean, and said, "It made a difference to that one".
