Difference

P K Routray

On the sand, adjacent to the water bed of a sea,

in an early morning, while on walk a man could see

a lady in dancing posture picking up and throwing something into water.

Those were star fishes swept ashore by waves, the man could discover.

On his query to the lady as to the purpose of her deed

“Before the sun rises, waves recede, to be put in water, these fishes do need.

or else out of heat on the sand perish will they”.

Throwing fishes nonstop in to water, thus lady did agonizingly say.

“There will be zillion of fishes like them

as the shore is vast;

what difference this attempt would make?”sighed the man passing past.

Throwing one more fish to the water humbly replied she

“It made the difference at least to this fish, sir you please see”.
