Learning by example: reading ruby code

Ruby
1

I would like to take an existing Ruby program and read through the
source code to learn how someone else would program. Ideally for me it
would not be Rails, but something in just pure Ruby to help me learn to
be a better programmer. Can someone point me in a good direction?

Thank you.
