two trees and a bird
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small
tree begins to grow between them, and 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.'
