There would be a school party on Friday evening．The girls were talking about what they were going to wear． "I'm going to wear a black dress, so everybody will notice（注意） me, "said Emily．"How about you, Linda?"

"I'm not sure．Maybe jeans, an old shirt, and a hat．People will notice me more than you!" Linda said．

"What are we going to do about the boys?" asked Jane．"Do you remember the last school party, last year? They just stood there, and we girls had to dance by ourselves!"

"I hear that some of the boys learned how to dance this summer．Maybe it'll be better this time, "said Mary．

The party was held on Friday evening．Groups of students arrived．The music began．The girls stood in a line on one side, and the boys on another side．Mr. Green, their teacher, tried to get them together, but failed．After a while, Tim said, "I don't want to stand here the whole time．The party is only for two hours, it'll be over soon．" He started to dance．All the others watched him．Then David asked Emily if she wanted to dance．Then Jack and Linda．Then, all began to dance．Soon there were more dancers than watchers．

A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning.

One day, when he was walking along the shore（海岸）, he saw a young man moving like a

dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”

“The sun is up and the tide（潮汐）is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

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

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted（赋予）

with the ability to make a difference.

We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
