这个故事有好几个版本,故事本身大同小异,只是措辞不同.
1.
An older man was walking along a beach when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy was walking slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed a beached starfish back into the ocean.
The older man, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day? Surely, such an industrious and kindhearted boy such as yourself could find something better to do with your time. Do you really think that what you are doing is going to make a difference?"
The boy looked up at that man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "For this one, it makes a difference."
2.
One day a man was walking along the seashore.
He noticed that during the night
many seashells and starfish had washed up on the shore.
Thoroughly enjoying the morning sun and cool sea air,
the man strolled for miles along the sand.
Far off in the distance, he saw a small figure dancing.
The man was joyous that someone was celebrating life
in such a grand and uninhibited manner.
As he drew closer, however ... it became apparent
that perhaps the figure was not dancing
but was repeatedly performing some ritual.
Approaching the small figure, the man noticed that it was a child.
The girl was methodically picking up starfish from the shore
and tossing them back into the surf.
The man paused for a moment, puzzled, then asked ...
"Why are you throwing those starfish?"
"If I leave these starfish on the beach," she replied,
"the sun will dry them, and they will die.
So I'm throwing them back into the ocean
because I want them to live."
The man was silent for a moment, impressed with the child's thoughtfulness.
Then he motioned up and down the miles and miles of beach and said,
"There must be millions of starfish along here!
How can you possibly expect to make a difference?"
The young girl pondered the man's words for a moment,
then she slowly leaned over, reached down,
and carefully picked up another starfish from the sand.
Pulling back, she arched the starfish gently into the surf.
She turned to the man and smiled.
"You may be right," she said ...
"But I Made A Difference For That One!"

One day a man was walking on a beach when he saw another man coming the other way who appeared to be dancing. As he drew nearer he could see the man was not dancing but was gently picking up starfish from the beach and throwing them back into the sea. “Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?” He asked.”Because they have been washed ashore, the day is getting hot and if I do not throw them back they will die,” replied the dancer. The man looked around him and saw that the beach went on for miles and that there were many thousands of starfish along its length. “But there are too many” he protested to the dancer “you can’t possibly make a difference.” The dancer smiled, picked up another starfish and gently tossed it beyond the waves, back into the sea, “I made a difference to that one!” he said.

As he got closer, he realized the figure was that of a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing a starfish into the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t possibly make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I made a difference for that one.” 5. One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
