He was tossing stranded starfish back to the deep blue sea. I said, "Tell me why you bother, why you waste your time this way. There's a million stranded starfish, does it matter anyway?"[/B][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][B][/B][/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][B]And he said, " It matters to this one. It deserves a chance to grow.
