Joanna was counting the falling leaves in the story "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry because an old artist named Behrman told her that she would die when the last leaf fell from the vine outside her window. Each leaf represented a day of Joanna's life, so she counted them to track the passage of time and her impending fate.
