The Starfish Story Each morning as the tide receded, a young boy walked along the beach plucking starfish from the drying sand. Abandoned by the water, the starfish were sure to die in the growing heat. But the boy would toss each starfish he came upon back into the cool and calming waves. A passerby shook his head at the boy's slow pursuit and grunted, "Don't bother, child. Those starfish go on for miles. You'll never make a difference." But the boy, cradling another small creature in his hand, tossed it back to the sea and simply replied, "We shall see. It made a difference to that one." In a world where our most precious resources are threatened every day, you can make a difference with each child you help and each tree you plant. By helping save one life now, you will save many lives in the future. By planting one tree now, you are contributing to a healthier planet, now and in the future. |
