I'm after a book of stories that our headmaster read to us

One of the stories was about a boy who ate 17 (could have been more) oranges, rind and all, to get himself out of trouble for stealing them.
Another story from this book was about a young man on his death bed who was told he would die once the leaves on the tree that he could see from his bedroom window had all gone. Little did he know that his friend (could have be a relative) had painted a leaf on the tree and that is what kept him alive. Seeing this one leaf left on the tree kept him going.
Please bear in mind this was approx 20 years ago, so part of my descriptions could be slightly 'distorted'! Thanks!
