This will forever be my favorite short story.

An old man was walking along the beach the morning after a terrible storm had struck an island, when he came upon a part of the sand where thousands of starfish had washed ashore. A little further down the beach he saw a young girl, who was picking up the starfish one at a time and tossing them back into the ocean. "Oh you silly girl," he exclaimed. "You can't possibly save all of these starfish. There's too many." The girl smiled and said, "I know. But I can save this one. "
