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're 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. That, my friends, is
the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."
