Hi, I just joined this site linking from Wild About Britain.

I am a Storyteller, and tell a tale about a young boy who is walking along the beach and is very sad because an awful lot of starfish have been washed up and the tide has gone out, leaving them to die on a quickly drying shore. The boy starts picking some of them up and, running to the waters edge, drops them into the sea. A man is watching this going on and tells the boy to stop. "You ain't gonna make any difference, son" he shouts. The boy picks up yet another starfish and throws it into the sea. "Made a difference to that one!" he says.

I know it might seem futile at the moment, but I live in hope that one day people will suddenly realise what is going on and we will all start to sing from the same song-sheet.

We have got to keep trying - consider the ant! (Where did that come from?)
