善意的小举动也会产生很大的改变喔！
One day after a high tide lots of sea-stars were brought to the shore. They started drying up in the sun. A boy, walking down the shore started throwing the sea-stars into the sea, so that they could continue their lives.
A person came up to him and asked, “Why are you doing this? Look around! There are millions of sea-stars; the shore is covered with them. Your attempt won’t change anything!”
The boy picked up the following sea-star, thought for a moment, threw it into the sea and said, “No, my attempt will change a lot…for this sea-star. If there are many boys like me, many lives of the sea-stars will be changed, and maybe the whole thing will be changed.”
