Subject: Understanding 'require'

I am clearly missing something WRT 'require'. I have a program file
(test1) which requires another file (test1a). My content, etc. is shown
below.  Why doesn't running test1 produce, 'Hello, world!' as output?
Thanks for any input.

        ... doug

$ ls
test1  test1a.rb
$ cat test1a.rb
var1='Hello, world!'
$ cat test1
#!/usr/bin/ruby

require './test1a.rb'
puts(var1)
$ ./test1
./test1:4: undefined local variable or method `var1' for main:Object
(NameError)
$
