Answers
Johnsy: I am so lucky to have got a friend like you! Thank you for looking after me so lovingly! If I am alive it is because of you.
Sue: You are my darling. I am so happy you recovered and healthy now. I was scared to death with so many people just becoming victims of pneumonia. I thank God and Mr. Behrman for all their help.
Johnsy: Mr. Behrman? Why should he be thanked? What did he do?
Sue: Johnsy darling, there is s secret I did not share with you. But you promise you will be strong and not sad if share it with you, will you?
Johnsy: What secret!? I promise I will be as strong and not sad.
Sue: You know you had formed a belief that you would die the moment the last leaf on the ivy climber on the opposite wall fell. I shared it with Mr. Behrman. He took t quite seriously. He painted a leaf on the ivy climber in such a manner that it looked real. It was that leaf that gave you hope and you fought back and recovered miraculously. The sad thing was Mr. Behrman himself caught pneumonia working in the cold that night and next morning breathed his last.
Johnsy: Oh my God! How great Mr. Behrman was! He sacrificed his life to save mine! I will always remember it and try to be like him. God bless his soul.
