The Last Leaf is a short story written by US author O． Henry． One of the most famous short story writers in history． His stories are known for their surprising endings， now called "O． Henry endings"．
In the story of The Last Leaf， Sue and Joanna are two artists living in New York City． Unfortunately， Joanna is ill and will probably die． In the hospital， something touching and unexpected happens． Let's find out more in the following excerpt（节选）．
Sue looked out of the window． All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy（常青藤） plant． The half﹣dead 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，" replied Joanna． "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 60years 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 that this will happen! The poor woman!" he said．
…
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．"

Hi，my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages．First of all，I have to share all my toys and games with my younger Siblings，William and Julia．Of course，they don't need to return the favour because I'm totally uninterested in their things．Besides that，Julia and William are always hanging around me．It's especially annoying when I have a friend over．We look for a secluded place in the house where they can't disturb （打扰） us，but within minutes，they've found us and are asking to join in．I just can't seem to get a moment's peace．At meal times，I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste．William and Julia only need to try one bite when it's not their favorite food．Not only this，but I'm expected to be cooperative （合作的，配台的） at all times because I'm the oldest and need to be a role model for them．
It doesn't seem fair either that I have more chores to do around the house than Julia and William put together．Plus，when it comes to practising our musical instruments，I have to practise more than double the time．Oh，and the worst part of it all is the huge quantities of homework I get compared to them．
I'm feeling rather annoyed with my sibling situation．Can you please write back with some advice？
Yours truly
Evan Smith
