You can use this function:
 
class Array
def  show_part
if  self.length>2
p  self[0..2].join(', ')+', ...'
else
p self.join(',  ')
end
end
end
 
 
.. anbd apply it like this :
 
 
colors =  ["black","white","red","yellow","green"]
colors.show_part
two_colors =  ["black","white"]
two_colors.show_part
three_colors =  ["black","white",'red']
three_colors.show_part

Best regards,
