You're trying to scare the poor man! After I learned OO, I realized the problem in trying to communicate the concepts.
- The easy-to-grasp explanations are stupid: Animal is a class. Dog and Cat are child classes of Animal. Fido is an instance of Dog. You could have an inherited public overridden method Speak() and say myAnimal.Speak() and if it were a Dog it would bark and if it were a Cat it would Meow ... - The real problems that are solved by the significant features are too hard to explain in a simple tutorial. I solved a problem the other day with a very sparsely-implemented virtual polymorphic method -- but it would take me an hour to explain what the problem was.
