down by the high winds of last winter. a farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. the stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.all the death and destruction in this place are caused by the smoke out

die”“but, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. you cant 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 with the ability
