Ok so...
Ok... so I have file1 and it contains a number
and I want file2 to tell me what that number is
file2 would be something like

class Tell
def get_num(file = "file1.txt")
     num = contents of file1
     $num = num
end
def tell_num
     puts "The number in file1 is #{$num}."
end
end

What do I put instead of "contents of file1"
Or some completely new code that does the same thing.

There was a man, they called him mad.
The more he gave, the more he had.
