Johnsy was counting the number of leaves in descending order to keep a record of the number of days left for her survival.
Explanation:
- The short story titled 'The Last Leaf' by O. Henry primarily reflects the 'power of faith.'
- A young girl named Johnsy suffers a severe illness and has lost all her hopes to survive.
- She counts the leaves falling from the ivy vine outside her window in descending order to make note of the days left for her survival as she believed that with the fall of the last leaf, she would die.
- Her neighbor named Behrman paints an artificial leaf on the wall which keeps her hope alive and helped her in recovering. However, the artist himself dies of pneumonia while painting the leaf.
