#2 It's the old story about a boy walking along the beach throwing starfish into the ocean. He can't save them all, but he'll save the ones he can.

Here's one version: http://www.psalms150-6.com/stories/starfish.html.

#3 Steve I found an explanation here.
It's the story of a young man explaining to an older man why he is throwing starfish back into the ocean. Each starfish that he rescued from the ebb tide and rising sun made a difference. If only to that one creature.
