I need possible answers to a riddle I heard, that I can't figure out... The person who told me won't tell me until I get it right... Please help...
Here it is:

Two men are at a construction site, one old and one young. The young one was very cocky and said, "I can lift twice anything you can!" This was the truth. Now the old man had worked there a long time, and said, "I bet I can carry something to that wall and back that you can't in that wheelbarrow!" The young man laughs and says, "You're on, old man!" The old man wins. How is this possible?
 
The answer is the wheelbarrow... the old man can carry it, but the young one can't put the wheelbarrow inside the wheelbarrow....

make sense now?
 
I've heard a variation of the riddle, after he says "You're on!" the old man points to the wheelbarrow and says "Get in"
