One morning 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 go out to work，and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“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 is 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)．”
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea，it was sure to be a good one.“I tell you what we can do，” said John.“You know that big box 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 and sell it.”
