找誰倚靠—我們都是有故事的人 扔海星的人

[00:09]The starfish thrower [00:11]Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. [00:17]He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. [00:22]One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. [00:31]He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up. [00:40]As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. [00:48]The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. [00:55]He came closer still and called out “Good morning! [00:59]May I ask what it is that you are doing” [01:02]The young man paused, looked up, and replied, “Throwing starfish into the ocean.” [01:09]“I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean’” asked the somewhat startled wise man. [01:17]To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. [01:24]If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.” [01:28]Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach [01:37]and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!” [01:44]At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. [01:51]As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.”
