A Classic Story of Hope

"The Last Leaf" by O. Henry is a nice short story to read. I enjoyed it, mainly because it has one of those endings that leave you saying,"Oh, how sweet -"

O. Henry is the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter (September 11,1862-June 5,1910). O. Henry short stories are known for wit, wordplay, warm characterization and clever twist endings.

O. Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings, to the point that such an ending is often referred to as an "O. Henry ending." ~Wiki
