The Guessing Game

Ismail, one of the kids, said, “Nasruddin, are you any good at guessing games?”

“Sure I am,” Nasruddin said. “Try me.”

“Now you guess what’s in my pocket,” said Ismail.

“Oh, give me a hint.”

“Okay,” said Ismail, “it’s smooth and oval, white on the outside and yellow inside, and it tastes good.”

“Oooh, that’s a tough one,” said Nasruddin. “Another hint?”

“It’s shaped like an egg.”

“Hmm. Let me take a wild guess: is it a piece of cake?”

“No, Nasruddin, that’s wrong. Try again.”

“Okay, let’s see. Oh, I know! It’s a hollowed-out turnip filled with a carrot!”

Like the previous story, “Cannot Hide the Truth,” this story shows how Nasruddin is a master of the oblivious.
