The Starfish Story ‘It made a difference for that one’
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his day’s work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. Intrigued, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that he was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He approached the young man and greeted him. ‘Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?’, he said. The young man paused, looked up, and replied ‘Throwing starfish into the ocean.’ The wise man was startled and asked why he was throwing starfish into the ocean. The young man replied, ‘The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.’
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, ‘But, young man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!’
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, ‘It made a difference for that one.’
QUEATIONS :
1. What is the moral of this story? Do you agree with the young man’s attitude?
2. The young man was making a difference, one small gesture at a time. Is there a small gesture that you could make that would make life better for someone in your family/school/community?
