I should help them! But how?” There were over hundreds of starfishes lying there and it was impossible for him to save each and every starfish by putting them back into the ocean.

But still without wasting any time, he started moving towards all those starfishes and then started getting all of them one by one in his hand and putting them into the water back to the ocean. He did that repeatedly for almost dozens of starfishes over there. He knew there were more and more starfishes which are waiting but he did not stop. He kept putting those starfishes one by one carrying them in his hand into the water.
