Fish Quote by Roberta Kuhne
““The sun's rays were heating the small creatures as the boy worked frantically, throwing every starfish he could pick up back into the cool, life-giving water... "Son, it's foolish for you to take on this huge task. You aren't going to make any difference. There are simply too many." The very young boy but very wise boy replied as he tossed yet another starfish into the water, "I'll bet it made a difference to that one mister!””
