ANSWER

The last leaf: William Sydney Porter, who used O'Henry as his nom de plume, in his 'The Last Leaf' excellently portrayed the characters of Sue and Johnsy, both upcoming painters and the old Behrman, a painter-a failure in art.

Sue and Johnsy were budding artists. They had their studio at the top of the three-storey brick house. In that area, many were affected by pneumonia a deadly disease. When Johnsy was smitten by pneumonia, the attending doctor informed Sue that the chance of Johnsy's recovery depended on her will to live.

After the doctor's exit, as Sue was painting, she heard a low sound. Immediately, she rushed to Johnsy's bedside and heard Johnsy counting backward. Actually, Johnsy was counting the number of leaves of an ivy vine. At the time, only five leaves were left. Johnsy firmly believed that at the fall of the last leaf, her life would also end. Sue wanted Mr.Behrman who had been always about to paint a masterpiece but had never yet begun it to model for her work. While Sue went to the ground floor to meet him, she told him about Johnsy's fancy.
