@Hans if you see my code above,you will find that`talk` is being added 
as `public` method but not as `private` method.

One more thing is that as below:


C:\>irb --simple-prompt
>> def talk
>>       p "hi"
>> end
=> nil
>> Object.public_instance_method(:talk)
=> #<UnboundMethod: Object#talk>
>> Object.public_method(:talk)
=> #<Method: Class(Object)#talk>
>>

Why `talk` has been added as `class method and instance method` as well. 
Could you help me to understand the logic?

Thanks in advance. :)
