The Last Leaf 

An old painter, Behrman, lives in a small apartment next to two young women, Sue and Johnsy. When Johnsy falls gravely ill with pneumonia, she believes she will die when the last leaf on the vine outside her window falls. One night, a terrible storm rages, and Johnsy is sure the last leaf will drop. But in the morning, it’s still there. Inspired by its resilience, she recovers. Later, Sue learns that Behrman painted the leaf on the wall during the storm and died of pneumonia himself.
