THE LAST LEAF (Moments) SUMMARY & QAs The story “The Last Leaf”, by O Henry, is a beautiful story depicting the virtue of human sacrifice and love. This story is about Sue, Johnsy, and Mr. Behrman; Sue and Johnsy live in an apartment in Greenwich Village, a favourite place for aspiring painters to live at. Sue and Johnsy had met at a restaurant and became soul-mate friends. In the winter pneumonia epidemic affected many people in that area; Johnsy also fell prey to it. Her condition became worse from bad with each passing day. The doctor confided to Sue one day that Johnsy was losing hope and desire to get well under the painful influence of the disease. She began to harbour a belief that she would die the moment the last leaf fell from the ivy climber on the wall opposite her window. She also shares her belief with her friend, Sue. Sue discussed it with Mr. Behrman, an extremely talented painter living in obscurity in their neighbourhood. Mr. Behrman decided to save Johnsy’s life. He believed in the power of believing. One night when it was extremely cold and raining, he painted a leaf on the ivy climber in such a manner that it looked like a real leaf. When Johnsy saw that the last leaf on the ivy climber on the opposite wall had not fallen, she was somehow filled with the desire to heal and get well. This desire helped her recuperate fast. And she recovered. However, Mr. Behrman who had worked in the cold, was affected by pneumonia and died
