TheMeredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, somepeople in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were strugglingto make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of timevisiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds ofhelp. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
Onemorning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not goout to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-hadinterested her very much.
“Iwish 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 Idon't see what he can do.”
Aftertheir mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish wecould help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“Sodo I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
Forsome moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet andcried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
Theother children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sureto be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that bigbox of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn(爆米花),and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses andsell it.”
梅瑞狄斯一家住在一个小社区。
随着经济的衰退，镇上有些人失去了工作。
他们中的许多家庭都在努力维持收支平衡。
人们试图互相帮助迎接挑战。
梅瑞狄斯太太是一个非常善良和体贴的女人。
她花了很多时间拜访穷人。
她知道他们有问题，他们需要各种帮助。
当她有时间的时候，她会带食物和药品给他们。
一天早上，她给孩子们讲了她前一天去过的一个家庭。
有一个男人卧病在床，他的妻子不能出去工作，只能照顾他，还有他们的小儿子。
那个小男孩——他的名字叫伯纳——使她非常感兴趣。
“我希望你们能看到他。”她对自己的孩子约翰、哈利和克拉拉说。
“他是他妈妈的好帮手。
他很想挣钱，但我看不出他能做什么。”
母亲离开房间后，孩子们坐着想着伯纳。
“我希望我们能帮他挣钱，”克拉拉说。
“他的家人遭受了太多的痛苦。”
“我也是。”哈利说。
“我们真的应该做点什么来帮助他们。”
好一会儿，约翰什么也没说，突然，他跳起来喊道:“我有一个好主意!
我有一个解决方案,我们都可以帮助完成(完成)。”
其他的孩子也都跳了起来。
当约翰有了一个主意，这肯定是一个好主意。
“我告诉你我们能做什么，”约翰说。
“你知道约翰叔叔寄给我们的那一大箱玉米吗?”
我们可以让爆米花(爆米花),把它放到纸袋,伯纳德可以把它周围的房子,卖掉它。”
