Story about starfish

[Karen Weaver <kweaver@AJHS.AJUSD.ORG>]

Our counselor is looking for a story about a boy and his grandfather=20=

walking along the beach and finding a bunch of starfish stranded on the =

sand.  The grandfather (?) starts throwing them back into the water and =

the boy asks him why he is doing it, because there are so many he'll=20=

never be able to save them all.  The grandfather says that it makes a=20=

difference to the ones he does say.  Does this sound familiar?  Any idea=
s=20
where we can find it in writing?  (My Chicken Soup books, which seem lik=
e=20
a logical source, are checked out.)

Thanks!
