A man was walking on the beach in the early morning enjoying the morning breeze and sun rise. He then saw from a distance, a teenager was picking up something and threw it into the sea as he walked alone the beach. The man was curious and walked faster and caught up with the teenager. He saw that the teenager was actually picking up the starfish that was being washed ashore by the tide the night before and threw them back into the ocean. He then asked the teenager what he was doing. The teenagers replied that he was trying to save the starfish by throwing them back to the sea. The man told the teenager "It won"t help and does not matter as there are too many of them, how many can you help?" The teenager than picked up another starfish and showed it to the man and said, ¡°Sir, it does matter to this one!" and then threw the said starfish into the ocean
