“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out. “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” So he began to walk faster to catch up.Īs he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.Īs he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing.
