Subject: private and self

Why doesn卒t the call with self doesn卒t work ? I know that private means 
private to the object, but the private methode call is within the same 
object (at least it卒s what i think). Doesn卒t self mean "the object 
himself" ? So why is this error occuring ?

test.rb:14:in `with_self': private method `private_methode' called for 
#<PrivateTest:0x2aaaaab00508> (NoMethodError)

[code]
class PrivateTest

def private_methode()
puts("I am private")
end

def without_self()
puts("without self")
private_methode()
end

def with_self()
puts("with self")
self.private_methode()
end

private :private_methode
end

test = PrivateTest.new
test.without_self()
test.with_self()
[/code]
