Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A
small tree begins to grow between them. The beech says to the
birch: "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says he cannot tell. Just then, a woodpecker lands on the
sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can
you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies: "It is
neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the
best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in.
:eek:
