Page 163 explains yield. The method hands control to your block.

Under "Preeventualism in a Gilded Box", @collin_jilbert drew a gem:

Collin fell in love with Ruby in 2019, by reading this very book. Now he works on #GoRails, #Hatchbox and #Jumpstart. He also drums and skates.

So the book yielded to him, and he never gave control back. Ruby forever.

The foxes put his gem in the gilded box. It fits.
