"Pull up the window shade. I want to see," Johnsy ordered, quietly.
Sue obeyed.
After the beating rain and strong wind that blew through the night, there yet stood against the wall one ivy (常春藤) leaf. It was the last one. It was still dark green at the centre. But its edges (边缘) were coloured with yellow.
"It is the last one," said Johnsy. "I thought it would surely fall during the night. I heard the wind. It will fall today and I shall die at the same time."
"Dear, dear!" said Sue. "Think of me, if you won't think of yourself. What would I do?"
But Johnsy did not answer.
The next morning, the ivy leaf was still there. Johnsy lay for a long time, looking at it. And then she called to Sue, who was preparing chicken soup.
"I've been a bad girl," said Johnsy. "Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how bad I was. It is wrong to want to die. You may bring me a little soup now."
An hour later she said, "Someday I hope to paint the Eiffel Tower."
Later in the day, the doctor came, and Sue talked to him in the hallway.
"Equal chances. With good care, you'll win," said the doctor. "And now I must see another case I have in your building. Behrman, his name is some kind of an artist, I believe. Pneumonia (肺炎), too. He is old and weak. There is no hope for him."
The next day, the doctor said to Sue, "She's out of danger. You won. Nutrition (营养) and care now—that's all."
Later that day, Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay, and put one arm around her.
"I have something to tell you," she said. "Mr Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital. He was sick only two days. They found him the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were completely wet and icy cold. They didn't know where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, still lighted. And oil paints and a painting board with green and yellow colours mixed on it. And look out of the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn't you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew? Ah, dear, it is Behrman's excellent work—he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."
