FW: birch or beech

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. Asmall tree
begins to grow between them, and the beech says to thebirch, "Is that a son
of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says she cannot tell.They argue
all afternoon whether it is a son of a birch or a son of abeech.Just then a
woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says,"Woodpecker, you are a tree
expert. Can you end this argument andtell us 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 isneither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, thebest
piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."
