My favorite activities on FAG are reuniting relatives and adding photos. Please feel free to message me. ~*~ One morning, an old man was walking along the beach after a stormy night, when he noticed a boy picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, "Young man, what are you doing?"

"Putting starfish back into the ocean," the boy replied. "The surf is rough and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die."

The man laughed and said, "You do realize there are miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't possibly make a difference."

After listening politely, the boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the retreating surf. Then, he smiled at the man and said, "I made a difference to that one."
