Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
The Starfish Story
An old man was walking along the beach and saw
a young boy throwing something back into the water
As he got closer, he could see that the objects were starfish.
"Why in the world are you throwing starfish into the water?"
"If the starfish are still on the beach when the tide goes out and the sun
rises high in the sky, they will die." replied the young boy.
"That is ridiculous. There are thousands of miles of beach and millions
of starfish. You can't really believe that what you're doing could possibly
make a difference?"
The young boy picked up another starfish, paused thoughtfully, and
remarked as he tossed it out into the waves,
"It makes a difference to this one."
Beautiful:)
