Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.

“ I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family’s suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was а good one, too. Actually they were not well off, but the urge to lend a supporting hand was stronger. They could hardly wait to tell the plan to Bernard in raptures. On hearing it, Bernard sprang to his feet and could feel a flow of warmth infused into his heart, grateful and delighted. In high spirits, four kids began to make popcorn. As tough the process was, they made it with joint efforts ultimately. The aroma of popcorn soon abounded in the whole room, cheering up everyone presented a great deal.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Initially, he felt a little shy to peddle the popcorn. But thinking of Bernard, he gritted his teeth and struggled to speak up. His joyous shouts rang through the whole neighbourhood, but few men paid attention to it, which made him a little discouraged. However, he picked himself up, attempting to sell popcorn from door to door. This approach apparently made sense. As night descended gradually, he sold out all the popcorn and earned a sum of money. He shared this exciting achievement with his friends instantly and they all smiled from ear to ear. They learned that with a heart full of determination and kindness, they could change the life for the better.
2.
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought a popcorn machine and some paper bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn with uncle’s corn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
3.
When Mrs. Meredith heard of the idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Then Mrs. Meredith searched the internet and ordered a household popcorn machine. After that, Mrs. Meredith, together with her three children, paid another visit to the family and told them about the popcorn plan. Needless to say, they were deeply moved, especially Bernard who finally found a way to make money for his family. A few days later, the machine was delivered to Mrs. Meredith’s doorstep. And it wasn’t long before they got the hang of using the machine to make popcorn.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Although it was a hard time and things were tight for everybody, Bernard’s business worked out quite well. He carried the popcorn on his small bike, going from door to door to sell it. People were surprised to see such a little, poorly-dressed boy selling popcorn at their doors, but eventually almost all of them would buy a bag or two. It is love that makes the world go round and Bernard felt it deep in his little heart.
4.
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. After a detailed division of labour, She took out the popcorn maker bought six months ago. Harry and Clara were busy making paper bags while John put the right amount of dessert to the corn . Shortly a lot of popcorn were made out.“The smell of popcorn are making my mouths water”they beamed satisfactorily and were dying to head for Bernard’s house. Seeing their arrival, Bernard’s family felt more elated. “Young man, you can earn some money by selling these!”Meredith gently smiled, pointing to the popcorn by the medicine that they brought.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his hew business. It’s rather chilly outside. “popcorn, delicious ...”Bernard shouted immaturely and hopefully . In an effect to attracted more people, John and his sisters sang and danced to Bernard's shouts. The lonely bony figure, coupled with his shouts was an unspoilt beauty in such cold weather. By Bernard's optimistic voice, people’s constantly struggling to recover from the recession was distinctly seen. In a sense, the biggest difference between corn and popcorn was that popcorn had a lot of love.
5.
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Under Meredith’s arrangement, John was in charge of adding the right amount of sugar to the corn while Harry and Calra worked together to make paper bags. When everything was ready, Meredith turned on the popcorn maker. An hour later, the appetizing popcorn was finally ready. With the medicine and cookies prepared beforehand, they pleasantly headed for Bernard's home two blocks away. Seeing the arrival of the Meredith family, Bernard danced for joy. Meredith stepped forward and pointed the popcorn in her hands, saying,,“Chance to exercise is coming! Make money by selling them ,will you ”Full of confidence, Benard took the popcorn .
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his hew business. There is a bite in the winter air although close to noon. To be more efficient, John accompanied Benard. The business went well though rejected several times at first. In closing, Benard presented the last bag to his neighbor, Genna, as a gift for her life was worse than his. Seeing Genna’s enjoying, he firmly said“everything’s going to be fine!. By this time, the clouds broke and the sun came through. John smiled and he thought his mother would be happy, too.

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Very soon, the children learnt how to pop the corn and then were busy in doing this “big”thing. At the same time, their mother went out to buy the paper bags that they needed. When she came back, she brought with her Bernard. Bernard felt grateful to all of them for what they had done for him.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Much sooner than could be expected, he returned with an empty basket and so much money that he had never seen before. He was so delighted that he could hardly speak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him. For many weeks, every Saturday, the three children would prepare popcorn for Bernard to sell. This little boy therefore could help support his family. All of this was because of John’s bright idea.
7.
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too. She was so surprised and happy that her children went much farther than herself. She said, "It's much better to teach Bernard to fish than to give him fish, you guys may do whatever you can with the plan to help Bernard and his family. With mom's approval, John got to prepare the oven, Harry went to check the corn that Uncle John sent them, while Clara made the best use of her legs to tell Bernard their plan, hoping he would accept their kindness. Having heard the plan, Bernard's blue eyes turned watery with happiness and gratitude. (98)
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Every afternoon after school, Bernard went to the Meredith family picking the bagged-popcorn and went to the town theatre, and he would always put a sign beside him with words by Mr. Meredith: "Home is sweet, mine is bitter with a sick dad and a nursing mom.." Almost all film-goers bought Bernard's popcorn when passing by. Bernard made 8 to 11 dollars each night. With this, Bernard could go home with medicine for his father. Months later his father could leave his sick-bed and walk around. Bernard's sign was rewritten as follows: "Home is sweet, mine is too, thank you all"(101)

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. The next day, they started to make popcorn with the big box of corn Uncle John sent them. They put the delicious popcorn into paper bags, which were ornamented with colorful ribbons. Then, they paid a visit to Bernard’s home with their special gifts. John’s great idea delighted Bernard beyond measure, for he now could earn some money on his own to support his family. He couldn’t help shedding tears of excitement and gave the Meredith family a big embrace, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He waved, peddled, took the popcorn around the houses and sold it. Better still, the smart John put forward an excellent idea that they should set up a stand, which could attract more customers. Though many of the people living in the community were impoverished, they still bought some popcorn to help Bernard. It was Bernard’s pure love for his parents and other people’s kindness that assisted Bernard’s family actually. It is inevitable to encounter hardship, but love is what supports life forever.

Everyone is ready to buy one pack to support him. The air was rich with happiness and kindness. Within no time, Bernard sold out all popcorn and earned quite some money. On returning, he thanked the Meredith family with watery eyes. For Clara, Harry and John, it was an unforgettable experience as well. It turned out that their efforts not only helped a brother in need, but also gave themselves the sweet taste of helping others.

Soon the Meredith household was filled with laughter. The aroma spread out for miles. Neighbors popped their heads out of their windows in search of its source. When the work was done, Bernard carefully sealed the paper bags and gathered them in a basket.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. The shy boy hesitated upon reaching the first door, but the Meredith kids encouraged him with a “go for it” gesture. After a short gentle knock, the door opened and a friendly face emerged. The neighbor asked if she could buy a bag of the tempting snack. As they went down the street, more doors opened.

Luckily, it seemed not so difficult that they succeed in popping the first corns.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Although it was a hard time and things were tight for everybody, Bernard’s business worked out quite well.

Everyweek Bernard had at least fifty cents to take home, and often more. All this was because of John's bright idea, and the way he carried it out.
