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, but just then a Woodpecker lands on the sapling.
The Birch says, "Hey 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 and 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 poked my pecker into."
