Subject: Beginner question on classes on different files

Hi,
I'm beginning to work with ruby and I have a conceptual problem.   Let's 
say I have two files:

hello2.rb:
  class Hello2
    attr_reader :msg
    def initialize
        @msg = "Hello, World2"
    end
  end

and hello.rb

require 'hello2.rb'
class Hello
    attr_reader :msg
    def initialize
        @msg = "Hello, World"
    end
end
h = Hello.new()
h2 = Hello2.new()
puts h2.msg
puts h.msg
print "Press RETURN"
$stdin.gets

This is obviously a conceptual excercise.    I want to use class 
"Hello2" in my hello.rb code.   However this doesn't compile.

What is wrong with this code?   How is something like this done in Ruby?
Thansk, Edgard
