The Last Leaf"  is a short story by  O. Henry  published in 1907 in his collection  The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories .The story is set in  Greenwich Village  during a pneumonia epidemic. It tells the story of an old artist who saves the life of a young artist, dying of pneumonia, by giving her the will to live. She can see an ivy plant through the window gradually losing its leaves, and has taken it into her head that she will die when the last leaf falls. Seemingly, it never does fall, and she survives. We learn that in reality the vine lost all its leaves. What she thought she saw was a leaf, painted on the wall with perfect realism, by the old artist. The old artist dies of pneumonia contracted while being out in the wet and cold, painting the last leaf.

I bid Good Bye to all of them. It was so painful to leave the school.
