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（賦予）
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.

When I was in the sixth grade, one day my teacher asked our class to think about the question “What does ‘doing the right thing’ mean to you?” over the weekend. We could talk to our parents or anyone else we thought might have a good answer. 1 Monday, we were to hand in an essay（論文） on it, and be prepared to live up to our 2 .
The entire weekend, I was trying to 3 something that would impress my teacher and be easy to live by. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother and asked my neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didn’t feel like I could live up to them.
On Sunday afternoon, my parents said they were going to my Aunt Cindy’s house. That usually 4 that I would have to entertain my four-year-old cousin Andrea 5 my parents visited. I found a Disney movie for Andrea, and then I sat down and started to write my essay. It was due（到期的）the next morning and this was my last 6 .
Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea. “What are you doing?” Andrea asked. “I have to write an essay about what ‘doing the right thing’ means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed. Could this smart four-year-old 7 know the answer? “That’s easy,” she said. “Doing the right thing means being nice to your family and friends. Never lie. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Take a bath when you’re 8 . And never put rocks in your mouth.”
I stared with great 9 at my little cousin. Then I jumped up and gave her the biggest hug. Not only had Andrea answered a very tough question for me, but I could easily live by 10 of her answers. All I had to do was to be nice, not to lie, to keep myself clean and healthy, and never put rocks in my mouth. So when I wrote my essay, I 11 the story about Andrea and how she had answered my question.
Two weeks later, my teacher returned everyone’s essays. I 12 an A+ along with a little note my teacher had written at the top: “Always do the right thing and give Andrea an A+, too!”
