One part of this chapter (Page 5)  is driving me crazy. I tried it in irb and it doesn't work as described in the chapter.

From the book (paraphrased(?)......sort of)

####################################################
class Celery
end

class IceCream
  def IceCream.new(starting_licks)
    Celery.new
  end
end

class IceCream
  def IceCream.small
    new(80)
  end
end

....I can send messages to what
class answers, like this:

food = IceCream.small
more_food = food.class.small

Both food and more_food would be
instances of Celery.
#######################################################

I understand how food is an instance of Celery.
But how is more_food an instance of Celery?
