    Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常青藤)plant. The half­dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.

“There are only five，now，” said Joanna.

“Five what，dear？What are you counting？”

“The ivy leaves，” Joanna answered. “When the last one goes，I'll die. I've known that for two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it？”

“Joanna，don't say that. Now，eat some soup and I'll finish my picture.”

“I don't want any soup，” said Joanna，looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”

“Joanna dear，try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”

Mr Berman，who was over 60 years old，lived downstairs. He was a painter too，but he never sold anything，and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.

“She can't really think about this will happen！The poor woman！” he cried.

…

Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days，the leaf was still there.

“Susie，” said Joanna，“I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup，dear.”

The next day，the doctor said，“She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs is dying. There's no hope for him，I'm afraid.”

That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom.

“Joanna dear，Mr Berman died today. And do you know why？One terrible，cold wet night he took a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up，and— oh，look at the last ivy leaf on the wall！Why didn't it ever move in the wind？Can't you see？It was Mr Berman's last great picture. He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”
