The Last Leaf

she has a very tiny chance.
I hope she'll get well soon.
Leaves. On the tree. When the last one falls, I must go too.
Try to sleep.
Do people die because leaves drop off a tree?
She's very sick and weak.
One morning the busy doctor spoke to Sue alone in the hall, where Johnsy could not hear.
she's sleeping so I'm going paint the last leaf on the wall.
Winter approached, the weather got colder, Johnsy caught pneumonia & believed when the last leaf fell from the vine outside her window, she would die.
The chances are good. Give her good care, and she'll get well.
The leaf still hasn't fallen.
yes I will. Thanks so much doctor.
Sue went to Mr Behrman and wanted him to paint a leaf so that way Johnsy will think that the last leaf will never fall.
I've been a bad girl. It is wrong to want to die.
Behrman was sick and he went out in the snow just to paint the last leaf and he died yesterday.
Behrman who lived in the same building as the girls, braved a storm one night to paint a leaf on the wall.
The doctor said that Johnsy is getting better.
Cold & wet from painting in the icy rain, Behrman caught pneumonia. This gave Johnsy the hope to survive her illness, and it created the masterpiece Behrman had always dreamed of painting.
