The Starfish Wish
This is a story of how small changes can make a big difference.
Our story starts with an idyllic vision of the ocean, full of shining water and colorful sea creatures. It is a beautiful place in this world of natural wonders created by Mother Nature.
Nevertheless, underneath the surface, there is a silent menace – pollution.
“Stevie the Starfish” has a wish, to make the world a better place. Stevie is concerned about pollution, but none of the other animals listen to his message. He feels insignificant being a small starfish in a big world.
On his journey, he meets different creatures of the sea, distinct in their own ways and fears. Most of the animals that Stevie comes across have their routine and don’t bother with or too busy to care much about the environmental problem.
However, Stevie goes on. One night, Stevie has the realization that he could be a shining star and starts to clean up the environment. He decides to take action even after learning that he will not be able to solve the problem alone.
Stevie inspires other people to join in the effort to clean up the surroundings…by not backing up from his initial goal despite facing difficulties. The other animals notice his contribution, which creates a chain reaction. The community works together, and everyone benefits from the efforts of one small, but determined, starfish.
