If topics is an array, you can use:

topics[0..4].each{|f| puts f.title}

Another option, which can be used for any Enumerable object is:

topics.each_with_index do |f, i|
  puts f.title
  break if i > 4
end

While not as nice as the first version, it's a bit clearer than your code.

I hope this helps
