"The Last Leaf" is a short story by O. Henry that revolves around themes of hope, sacrifice, and the power of art. The story is set in Greenwich Village, New York City, and follows the lives of two young artists, Johnsy and Sue. Johnsy falls gravely ill with pneumonia and loses her will to live, believing that she will die when the last leaf falls from a vine outside her window. Their neighbor, an elderly artist named Behrman, hears of her plight. In an act of selfless love and sacrifice, Behrman paints a realistic leaf on the wall to give Johnsy hope. The painted leaf stays, inspiring Johnsy to regain her strength and will to live, but Behrman catches pneumonia in the process and tragically dies. The story beautifully illustrates the profound impact of hope and the sacrifices made for the sake of others.

The better is the Enemy of the Good.

I just discovered O. Henry. Yet to read any of his work though. I am presently reading Notes from The Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Pray for me.
