Mr. Smith lived by the sea. He had a habit of walking on the beach in his spare time.

One day,　 76 he saw someone moving like a dancer in the distance. He smiled and began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man. 　 77　 He was picking something up from the sand and very gently throwing it into the sea.

Mr. Smith called out, “ Good morning! 78 ”

The young man stopped, looked up and said, “ Throwing starfish(海星) into the sea.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“The sun is up, and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them into the water, 79 ”.

“ But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You can’t make a difference.!”

The young man listened politely, then he picked up another starfish, threw it into the sea and said: “ I made a difference for that one. “

Each one of us can make a difference in this world.　 80　 Don’t give up on a task because it seems big – every small thing you can do will help.
