“A man is walking along the seashore as the
tide ebbs, revealing a multitude of stranded starfish. Soon he comes upon a young girl, who is
picking up the starfish one by one and returning them to the sea.
So he asks the girl, “What are you doing?”
And she replies, “They will die if I don’t
get them back into the water.”
“But there are so many of them,” the man
says. “How can anything you do make a
difference?”
The girl picks up another starfish and
carries it to the sea. “It makes a
difference to this one.”
Izzeldin Abuelaish
(1955- )
