15."It seems that you had a rough day,Tyler.Is there anything I can do to help?""That's just the thing,Mom.We can't help.Today,our science teacher talked about Earth Day and the environment.Earth Day is supposed to be a day when every person promises to do something to help take care of our world.Mrs Green told us our world is getting dirtier and that many animals and plants are dying.She wants us to think of something we can do to help and I thought all the way home and there is not anything that I can do to make a difference."
"Let me tell you a story that might help you think about your problem in a different way."She began,"One morning a man was walking down a beach that was covered with dying starfish.Thinking what a shame it was that all of those starfish would die on the beach,he came across a boy who was throwing starfish back into the ocean as fast as he could.‘Son,'the man said,‘you'd better quit.There are thousands of them.They are washed up all over the beach.There is no way you can make any sort of a difference.'The boy spoke to the man without even a pause,‘I can make a difference to this one,and this one,and this one.'The man thought a while,and he knew the boy was right.He began to help return the animals to their home."
Tyler stared at his mother,"But he did make a difference,didn't he?To every starfish that he threw back?So,what it means is that even though I can't change everything,I can make a big difference by doing the little things that matter?"His mother nodded,smiling,"That is exactly what I am saying."
On Earth Day,there was a meeting and everyone in the community was invited.Many of them were surprised to see a large brown tree without leaves.Soon performances began.A boy walked across a stage filled with starfish.The play went on as Tyler and his class showing the story and ended with the audience's applause."At first,we thought we couldn't do anything.The problems seemed too big for us.But then we realized that together,even the little things we do could add up to mean a lot to our world."The kids began passing out the green leaves and pens to the audience."We want every person to think of one thing you can do to make a difference to our world.Even if it seems like something small,it will matter."The audience began writing."I will walk to work.""I will use both sides of my paper to save trees."…
Soon the tree was green and covered with the Earth Day promises.Seeing the people laughing and talking as they left,Tyler smiled,thinking of the difference they would make.
