Legend of the starfish

The legend of the starfish boy is a popular folktale in many coastal cultures. 

The story goes that a young boy was walking along the beach when he came across a starfish that had been stranded by the tide. 

The boy picked up the starfish and threw it back into the sea. 

The act of kindness was witnessed by a passing fisherman, who asked the boy why he had bothered to save just one starfish. 

The boy replied that it made a difference to that one starfish. 

The legend of the starfish boy is a reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in the world.
