Be a Starfish!

 

 

Hello beautiful souls!

 

Let me tell you a story that has always resonated deeply with me—a story about a boy, a man, and some starfish. 

Why, you ask? Because it's profoundly important. And like all good stories, it begins with ...

 

Once upon a time…

 

A man was walking along a tranquil beach, basking in the warmth of the sun. The salty breeze whispered promises of the ocean's embrace. The tide was just a short stroll away, and everything seemed perfectly serene.

 

But then, in the distance, he noticed a small boy at the water's edge.

 

The boy was darting up and down the shore, throwing something into the sea with great urgency.

 

Curious and concerned, the man stepped closer, and his heart sank at the sight before him—millions of starfish, stranded and struggling under the scorching sun, lining the beach for miles. The scene was overwhelming, the suffering palpable.

 

As he approached the boy, the man called out, "Hey there! Why are you doing this? There are too many starfish. You're wasting your time, son." His voice was gentle but tinged with sorrow, genuinely worried for the boy's seemingly futile efforts.

 

The boy turned to him, his face lighting up with a smile that could rival the sun's brilliance. "Sir," he said, his voice filled with unwavering determination, "I may not be able to help them all, but I can make a difference to this one!"

 

With that, he carefully placed another starfish back into the welcoming embrace of the sea.

 

The man stood there, awestruck and moved by the boy's words and actions. In that moment, he realised the profound truth in the boy's simple gesture. The boy's compassion and hope transcended the hopelessness of the situation.

 

The moral of the story is simple, yet profound. We are all called to serve and help others in our own unique ways. And if we can make a difference to just one person, our job is done.

 

So, go forth and have a wonderful life. Save a starfish whenever you can. 😊 

 

It creates magic in the world!
