There's a story about the beachcomber who was walking along the shore of the ocean.
And there were thousands and thousands of crabs that had been washed up on the shore and couldn't get back and now, in the sun, were dying of dehydration.
And he spotted a little girl throwing the crabs, one by one, back into the sea.
And the beachcomber looked at her and said, "You know, there's thousands and thousands of these dying crabs. What possible difference can it make if you throw a few back?"
And as the little girl threw a crab back into the ocean she said, "Well, it made a difference to that one."
