Your code looks correct.
My interpretation of the workflow that derives from this tool is that
you write a high level story like you have here, run it, and let it
tell you what to do next. The stack trace is telling you that you need
an Account class. So now you would drop down to the object level and
write a spec for Account (this is a Rails Story, so you'd write a
model spec). Once you have that passing, you might come back up to the
story level and re-run it, at which point it might tell you that it
doesn't know about the balance() method on your account object; this
would depend on how detailed you got in your model spec.
I'm a total noob with this tool as well, so others on this list might
have different insights; I'd be interested in hearing other
perspectives on how detailed you'd get the first time you drill down
to the object level: would you spec out the object completely as
specified at the high level and then verify that it satisfies the
story, or would you keep ping-ponging back and forth between the two
levels?
