(Alex回到 Bob身邊)
B: pull up the shade, Alex. I want to see
B: oh~ the last leaf, I was sure it had fallen last night. I’m sure it’ll fall today and I will die at the same time
A: oh my dear. Think of me if you don’t think yourself, what will I do if you die?
旁: the day passed slowly, and that last leaf magically held on to the vine. The wind and the rain continued all night. When the sun can up again, the leaf was still there
B: Alex I’ve been a bad boy, wanting to die. Something made that last leaf stay on the wall to show me, how silly I was…. I think I’ll have some chicken soup now. No~ bring me a pillow, I want to sit up
