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.\"
