SPOILER ALERT

The episode is about 4 women telling stories about the Lil' Slugger and one woman told a story about a boy and a girl in love. Apparently the girl fell ill and told her boyfriend that if the vine next door loses its last leaf, the girl will surely die. The boyfriend decided to paint a leaf on the house next door so that she might not lose hope and live.
One of the women told the other three, "that is a famous story". What is she talking about?

IIRC, it's "The Last Leaf", by O Henry.

Yep, that's the one. It's not only famous, it's also in the public domain.

It is short too. Enjoy.
