 name for the same data.
 
-For the second argument, we need to extract the contents of `on_the_heap`
-by derefercing with the `*` symbol. Now that we have the data, we need
-to create a reference with the `&` symbol.
+In the case of `on_the_heap`, however, no explicit action is necessary. 
+The compiler will automatically convert a box box point to a reference like &point.

 Whenever a caller lends data to a callee, there are some limitations on what
 the caller can do with the original. For example, if the contents of a
