Chapter 7 The Last Leaf

-by O Henry

The Two Friends Sue and Johnsy

Sue and Johnsy are two friends who live in a small flat on the third floor of an old building. They are artists and make paintings for living. Once Johnsy falls ill of pneumonia. She keeps looking out of the window while lying on the bed. She thinks that she is going to die.

सू और जॉन्सी दो दोस्त हैं जो एक पुरानी इमारत की तीसरी मंजिल पर एक छोटे से फ्लैट में रहते हैं। वे कलाकार हैं और जीवनयापन के लिए पेंटिंग बनाते हैं। एक बार जॉन्सी निमोनिया से बीमार पड़ गई। वह बिस्तर पर लेटे-लेटे खिड़की से बाहर देखती रहती है। वह सोचती है कि वह मरने वाली है।

The Doctor’s Visit

Although the doctor comes everyday but the condition of Johnsy does not change. One day, the doctor asks Sue if anything is bothering Johnsy. The doctor tells her that it is difficult for Johnsy to get well as she has made up her mind that she will not get well. He also tells her that in this case, the medicines will not help her.

हालांकि डॉक्टर रोज आते हैं लेकिन जॉन्सी की हालत नहीं बदलती। एक दिन, डॉक्टर सू से पूछता है कि क्या जॉन्सी को कुछ परेशान कर रहा है। डॉक्टर उसे बताता है कि जॉन्सी के लिए ठीक होना मुश्किल है क्योंकि उसने अपना मन बना लिया है कि वह ठीक नहीं होगी। वह उसे यह भी बताता है कि इस मामले में दवाएं उसकी मदद नहीं करेंगी।

Sue Tries to Make Johnsy Interested in Things

Sue tries her best to make Johnsy interested in things. She talks about clothes and fashion but Johnsy does not respond. She brings her drawing board in her room and starts to paint but Johnsy does not look at her. She also starts whistling while working but Johnsy just does not notice and keeps lying still looking outside the window.

सू जॉन्सी को चीजों में दिलचस्पी दिलाने की पूरी कोशिश करती है। वह कपड़े और फैशन के बारे में बात करती है लेकिन जॉन्सी कोई जवाब नहीं देती। वह अपना ड्राइंग बोर्ड अपने कमरे में ले आती है और पेंट करना शुरू कर देती है लेकिन जॉन्सी उसकी तरफ नहीं देखती। वह काम करते हुए सीटी भी बजाती है लेकिन जॉन्सी ध्यान नहीं देती और लेटी खिड़की से बाहर देखती रहती है।

Sue Gets to know about Johnsy’s Strange Belief

While trying to get Johnsy’s attention, Sue notices that she is counting backwards. She comes to know that Johnsy is counting the remaining leaves that are on the Ivy creeper outside the window. Johnsy tells her that the leaves are falling rapidly (speedily) in the autumn season. She also informs her that she would die, once the last leaf falls from the creeper.

जॉन्सी का ध्यान आकर्षित करने की कोशिश करते हुए सू ने नोटिस किया कि वह उल्टी गिनती कर रही है। उसे पता चलता है कि जॉन्सी शेष पत्तियों को गिन रही है जो खिड़की के बाहर आइवी क्रीपर पर हैं। जॉन्सी उसे बताती है कि पतझड़ के मौसम में पत्तियाँ तेजी से (तेजी से) गिर रही हैं। वह उसे यह भी बताती है कि लता से आखिरी पत्ता गिरने के बाद वह मर जाएगी।

Sue Tries to Convince Johnsy

Sue tries to convince Johnsy that she is foolish in thinking that she would die with the falling of the last leaf of the ivy creeper. She even lies to her that the doctor is confident that she would get well soon. But, Johnsy does not change her mind and keeps on counting the remaining leaves on the creeper.

स्यू जॉन्सी को समझाने की कोशिश करती है कि वह यह सोचकर मूर्ख है कि आइवी लता की आखिरी पत्ती गिरने से उसकी मृत्यु हो जाएगी। वह उससे झूठ भी बोलती है कि डॉक्टर को भरोसा है कि वह जल्द ही ठीक हो जाएगी। लेकिन, जॉन्सी ने अपना मन नहीं बदला और शेष पत्तियों को लता पर गिनना जारी रखा।

Behrman Arrives at their Flat

A neighbour named Behrman arrives at their home. He gets to know about Johnsy’s condition and sees that there is only one leaf remaining on the creeper which could fall anytime. He goes back to his house and paints a leaf that looks identical to the creeper’s leaf and sticks it on the creeper while Johnsy is sleeping. In the process of doing so, he gets wet as it is raining heavily and it was icy cold. He falls sick and gets pneumonia.

बेरमन नाम का एक पड़ोसी उनके घर आता है। वह जॉन्सी की स्थिति के बारे में जान जाता है और देखता है कि लता पर केवल एक पत्ता बचा है जो कभी भी गिर सकता है। वह अपने घर वापस जाता है और एक ऐसा पत्ता पेंट करता है जो लता के पत्ते के समान दिखता है और उसे लता पर चिपका देता है जब जॉन्सी सो रही होती है। ऐसा करने की प्रक्रिया में, वह भीग जाता है क्योंकि भारी बारिश हो रही है और बर्फीली ठंड थी। वह बीमार पड़ जाता है और निमोनिया हो जाता है।

Johnsy Starts Getting Well

Johnsy keeps looking out of the window and notices that the last leaf is not falling. Even wind and the rain do not make the leaf fall. She realises that she was wrong in supposing that she would die with the falling of the last leaf and starts getting well.

जॉन्सी खिड़की से बाहर देखती रहती है और देखती है कि आखिरी पत्ता नहीं गिर रहा है। हवा और बारिश भी पत्ते को नहीं गिराते। उसे पता चलता है कि उसका यह सोचना गलत था कि वह आखिरी पत्ती के गिरने से मर जाएगी और वह ठीक होने लगती है।

Sue Informs Johnsy of the Mystery

When Johnsy gets well, Sue tells her the mystery of the last leaf. She informs her that she has got well due to the efforts of Behrman. Behrman, looking at Johnsy’s condition, did a wonderful thing. He painted a similar Leaf of Ivy creeper, used a lantern and ladder and pasted it on Ivy creeper. It was raining heavily and he got wet completely. He was struck with pneumonia and died after two days. Behrman had painted a masterpiece (a leaf that looked identical to the leaf on the ivy creeper) and in the process of helping her he had fallen ill and died.

जब जॉन्सी ठीक हो जाती है, सू उसे आखिरी पत्ते का रहस्य बताती है। वह उसे बताती है कि बेहरमन के प्रयासों से वह ठीक हो गई है। जॉन्सी की दशा को देखते हुए बेहरमैन ने एक अद्भुत कार्य किया। उन्होंने आइवी क्रीपर की एक समान पत्ती को चित्रित किया, एक लालटेन और सीढ़ी का इस्तेमाल किया और इसे आइवी क्रीपर पर चिपकाया। भारी बारिश हो रही थी और वह पूरी तरह भीग गया था। उन्हें निमोनिया हो गया था और दो दिनों के बाद उनकी मृत्यु हो गई। बेरमन ने एक उत्कृष्ट कृति (एक पत्ता जो आइवी क्रीपर पर पत्ती के समान दिखता था) को चित्रित किया था और उसकी मदद करने की प्रक्रिया में वह बीमार पड़ गया था और उसकी मृत्यु हो गई थी।

Conclusion of The Last Leaf
