The Last Leaf
Two artist and best friends, Sue and Johnsy, live in a little apartment west of Washington Square Park. During a cold and snowy November, Johnsy becomes seriously ill. Growing increasingly fatalistic Johnsy becomes obsessed with the leaves falling from a vine outside her window. After the last leaf falls, she tells Sue, she will die. Concerned, Sue tells her neighbor and friend Behrman about Johnsy’s theory. What will they do when the last leaf falls?

Gift of the Magi
James and Della Young are a poor young couple living in a small apartment east of Union Square. Despite their poverty, they both individually resolve to give each other an elegant gift on Christmas Eve. In their attempt to buy proper presents, a strange twist of fate leads each to find the perfect gift for the other—but at what cost?
