Sue and Johnsy were both artists. They had a studio(工作室) in Greenwich Village. They painted together and had a lot of fun.
In November, the weather was very cold and windy. Johnsy was seriously ill with pneumonia(肺炎). Sue took care of her.
One, two, three, four, five...
Five what, dear? What are you counting?
I am counting the leaves. When the last ivy leaf falls I must go too...
Sue had to work. She asked Mr Behrman to be her model. Mr Behrman was a poor, old painter.
Nonsense(胡說)!
Johnsy said that when the last leaf falls, she would die too.
That night, a big storm blew all night. When morning came, Johnsy asked Sue to pull the shade up(打開百葉窗), and there was still one leaf left!
It’s the last one. I thought it would fall last night. I heard the wind.
The next morning, Johnsy asked Sue to pull the shade up again. To her surprise, the leaf was still there.
I am wrong. I should be as strong as that leaf!
The leaf gave Johnsy hope, and she slowly got better. But Mr Behrman died of pneumonia. He painted the leaf on the wall during the storm!
為了紀(jì)念老貝爾曼,瓊希和蘇一起在他的“杰作”旁刻了一塊紀(jì)念牌,向人們講述這幅畫背后感人的故事。請(qǐng)根據(jù)故事情節(jié),將內(nèi)容補(bǔ)充完整。
