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 it can`t tell.
Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.The birch says:
"Woodpecker , you are a tree expert. Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch ?"
The woodpecker takes a small taste of the sapling and replies:
"It is neither a son of a beech or a son of a birch. It is , however , the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in !"
