 (Note that in the first example, one space between each column was added by the
 way :keyword:`print` works: it always adds spaces between its arguments.)
 
-This example demonstrates the :meth:`rjust` method of string objects, which

-methods do not write anything, they just return a new string.  If the input
-string is too long, they don't truncate it, but return it unchanged; this will

-which would be lying about a value.  (If you really want truncation you can
-always add a slice operation, as in ``x.ljust(n)[:n]``.)
