Explanation:
The story Last Leaf by O Henry is a masterpiece. Like all his other stories, this one too is heart touching. This story has many good lessons for all to learn. The story is about the power of friendship, hope, love, sacrifice and care. Sue and Johnsy are two friends living together; Johnsy is infected with pneumonia epidemic. Her condition become critical. The doctor cautions Sue to keep her friend’s heart filled with hope and longing for life, if she wanted to keep her alive.
Sue does her best to follow doctor’s advice. Now Johnsy forms a belief that she will live as long as the tree opposite her room’s window will hold leaves on it. The moment the last leaf will fall, she will die too.
Sue and Johnsy watch every day as the tree sheds its leaves one by one. Sue becomes wooried as the number of leaves on the trees reduce on account of the cold and winter. When just a few leaves are left on the tree, sue goes to the Old Behrman who is a painter and shares Johnsy’s belief.
Old Behrman paints a leaf on the tree such a manner that it looks as if it is real. He does it at night before the fall of the actual leaf from the tree. While painting in the cold of night, he catches cold which deteriorates into pneumonia and dies at hospital. But Johnsy begins recovering to see the last leaf hanging on the tree.
Thus, Old Behrman sacrifices his life to save Johnsy’s life.
