Once upon a time there was a smart man,he went to the sea to do his writing.He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore.As he looked down the beach,he saw a human figure（人形） moving like a dancer.He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach.So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As 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.
As he got closer he called out,"Good morning!What are you doing?"
The young man stopped,looked up and answered,"Throwing starfish（海星） in the sea."
"I guess I should have asked,why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"
"The sun is up and the tide（海浪） is going out,and if I don\’t throw（扔） them in,they will die!"
"But,young man,don\’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it.You can\’t possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened quietly,then he bent down,picked another starfish and threw it into the sea,past the breaking waves and said,"It made a difference for that one."
There is something very special in each and every one of us.We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference.And if we can know that gift,we will get through the strength（力量） of our ideas of the power to shape（塑形） the future.
We must each find our starfish.And if we throw our starfish smartly and well,the world will be better.
