You Can Be A Hero, Too



That's how Auntie Katie feels about helping us cats and sharing cats who need rescued, even if no one commented yesterday. Her would helps all the same.  Like the story about saving starfish. There am several versions adapted from The Star Thrower by Loren C. Eiseley.

One day an old man was walking along the beach. The low tide had filled the beach with thousands of stranded starfish, carried in by the sea and left behind.

He walked very carefully so not to step on the beautiful creatures. Since the starfish seemed to still be alive, the old man thought about picking up a few and returning them back to the water where they could resume their lives. He knew the starfish would die if left on the beach's dry sand. Yet, he couldn't possibly help them all, so he chose to do nothing and continued walking.

Soon afterward, the man came upon a young girl on the beach frantically throwing one starfish after another back into the sea. The old man stopped and asked the child, "What are you doing?"

"I'm saving the starfish," she replied.

"Stop wasting your time. There are too many! Your efforts won't matter. You can't save them all," argued the man. "You can’t even begin to make a difference."

Without hesitation, the child picked up another starfish and tossed the starfish back into the water... "I can make a difference for this one." 

The old man left and went home, deep in thought of what the young girl had said. The next morning, he returned to the beach and spent the day helping her throw starfish back in the sea.

No matter what... you can always makes a difference. One kitty (starfish) at a time.
