Heart Rendering Stories!!!

The following is lifted from 'Chicken Soup For The Soul'. We read a lot of crap day in and day out. I am sure the folks at Chicken Soup would not mind me posting their stories. I would recommend you to buy these books at stores nearby.

I will try to post good stories that i come across.

One At A Time

A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As
he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew
nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking
something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept
hurling things out into the ocean.

As our friend approached even closer, he noticed that the man was
picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a
time, he was throwing them back into the water.

Our friend was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good
evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing."

"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide
right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If
I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of
oxygen."

"I understand," my friend replied, "but there must be thousands of
starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to all of them. There are
simply too many. And don't you realize this is probably happening on
hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that
you can't possibly make a difference?"

The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish,
and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "Made a difference to that
one!"
