You might had expected the third `bar` is a `Bar`.

In fact, the first `bar` in `!bar.is_a?(Bar)` is the attribute.
But the assignment in the next line makes the local variable `bar` regardless whether this line is executed.
So all `bar` after here in this method, including in the next `elsif` line, are this local variable, that is an empty string or `nil` (when the `elsif` condition is executed).
