阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to 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 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.
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.”

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 bag of corn and some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn 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.

Paragraph 1: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.
Paragraph 2: 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 saying, “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 followed: “Home is sweet, mine is too, thank you all.”
