Do you know the story "The Boy and the Starfish"?

It goes something like this: A man is walking along a beach. He sees a boy putting starfish back into the sea. He tells the boy that's not helpful, "There are thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't save them all. You can't make a difference." As the boy puts another starfish,he says to the man, "It's going to make a large difference to this one!"Members of an after—school program in New Hampshire, liked the story so much that they named their club after class!

The "Starfish club" members do a lot for shelter(收容所)animals, but want to make a difference to other animals too. They learned that a boy in Massachusetts helped get a law(法律) passed. The law bans(禁止)the sale of shark fins(鱼鳍)in this state. The kids in the club decided to try to do the same in New Hampshire.

People cut off the fins of sharks and then put the sharks back into the sea to die. The fins are sold and made shark fin soup. Each year tens of millions of sharks are killed for their fins.The club members talked with lawmakers but finally, the law wasn't passed."My friends are working very hard," says 10—year—old Payton Paradis. "I am sad that the law wasn't passed, but I hope we can call on many kids around the world to keep trying, no matter what the problem is. And remember: Fins are on sharks, not in soup!"
