- 7. Johnsy, seriously ill with pneumonia, loses the will to recover and ties her fate to an old ivy creeper outside her window, believing she will die when its last leaf falls. As the leaves drop one by one in the autumn winds, her hope fades and she waits to die. Her friend Sue tries to encourage her, but Johnsy keeps her eyes on the dwindling vine. Then, after a fierce, stormy and freezing night, when the last leaf should surely have fallen, it is still there clinging to the wall — and it remains, day after day, through wind and rain. Seeing the leaf endure such harsh weather and refuse to give up, Johnsy is filled with new hope and is ashamed of her own wish to die. Her will to live returns, and she gradually recovers. The leaf's quiet courage thus rekindles Johnsy's spirit and saves her life — though the truth behind the leaf is even more remarkable.
