getting a Twitter::Cursor object with the Twitter gem

I'm playing around with the Ruby Twitter gem and wish to use the methods that are available on the Cursor object. For example, using the Twitter::Cursor I'm supposed to be able to get a an array of all friends by doing

client.friends.to_a

or get a most recent follower with

client.friends.first

However, in my attempt below, when tried to do client.friends.first for kanyewest, I got an error which showed that I'm using the Twitter::User object, not the Twitter::Cursor

undefined methodfriends' for #

How can I use the gem to get a cursor object that will allow me to query Kanye's friends. client.friends.to_a

Note, I read the documentation for creating a new cursor object but I found it a little abstract. I'm not sure if you're supposed to call the constructor directly? If so, please show me how I'd do that

- (Twitter::Cursor) initialize(attrs, key, klass, request)

My Failing code

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
 require 'rubygems'
 require 'twitter'

 client = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config|
  config.consumer_key     = "8nwa....."
  config.consumer_secret  = "Wj20r....."
  config.access_token     = "363......"
  config.access_token_secret = "7eydU2n....."
end

kanyewest = client.user("kanyewest")
puts kanyewest.friends.first

client.friends("kanyewest").first should work. friends is a method on client not on Twitter::User
