Except the typical C "Hello, world" example doesn't start with, "First, 
download and install a set of libraries that does all the interesting bits."

For a small example, show the use of blocks.  Give a Rake demo, then 
examine the Rake lib code that mkaes it possible.

Maybe go through the code of Jim Weirich's Builder library, or something 
else that shows the power of method_missing and dynamic code invocation.
