Joke

Two tall trees were growing in the woods. A small tree began to grow between them.

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

The other said he could not tell.

Just then a woodpecker landed on the sapling.

The tall tree said, "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 took a taste of the small tree.

He replied, "Neither. That, my friends, is the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."
