Two tall trees are growing in the woods.

A small tree begins to grow between them.

One tree says to the other: "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The other says he cannot tell.

Just then a woodpecker lands in the sapling.

The tall tree 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. That, my friends, is the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."
