T0053. Guess What I Have in my Pocket

Nasruddin has apricot in his pocket. If you can guess what I have in my pocket, he say, I will give you an apricot. Of course the person guesses!

Notes: In different versions, Nasruddin has different objects in his pocket (peach, apricot, etc.)

Here's my short version:

“If you can guess what I have in my pocket,” said Nasruddin to his friend, “I’ll give you an apricot!”
“I think you’ve got an apricot in your pocket!” his friend replied.
“That’s right!” said Nasruddin in amazement. “But how did you know?”
