Calling instance method defined in a parent class?

ruby-talk
1

How do I do that? Consider the following class definitions:

class Foo
  def a
    puts "Foo"
  end
end

class Bar < Foo
  def a
    puts "Bar"
  end
  def b
    parent.a # I want to call Foo#a here for this instance of Bar.
  end
end

Bar.new.b # => "Foo"

Thanks for the help.
