The Starfish

As I walked on the beach one morning, I saw a young man picking up starfish from the sand and flinging them back into the sea.

I asked him what he was doing. "If I don't save them, they will die in the noonday sun," he replied.

"But there are thousands of starfish on this beach," I replied. "What difference does it make to save just a few?"

He looked down at the starfish in his hand and flung it to safety in the waves.

"It makes a big difference to this one!" he said.

Stephen Curran visited Pakistan during Easter 2007 to give educational advice to schools funded by Starfish Asia. These free schools serve the very poorest children in Pakistan.
