A Sincere Desire to Help
One early morning a young boy was walking along the beach. Continuing his walk he became aware of several Starfish being washed up on the shore. Stopping to take focus, he became aware that it wasn't just a few starfish that had washed onto the shore, but thousands. Knowing that high tide was still several hours away and that the sun was rising he began to save as many of the creatures as he could. One by one he began to pick them up and throw them back into the ocean.
A man that was also walking the beach that morning saw the young boy and walked up to him. The older gentelmen assessing the situation replied to the boy, "There is no way you will ever be able to save all these starfish!" To his reply, the young boy knelt down, picked up another Starfish and said, "Yes Sir, but I'm going to save this one!"

And then another boy came by and saw the other picking up each creature and he knelt down and began to help. The two boys worked together and then the man became amazed at their progress and he knelt down as well.....
