Two trees lived in close proximity together. Birch and Beech had been friends for many years. One day, a sapling appeared between the two of them.
“Birch, is that your son?” said Beech.
“I don’t know,” replied Birch, “I can’t see that far.”
Just then, a woodpecker flew up and perched on the sapling.
“Excuse me, Mr. Woodpecker, but in your expert opinion, is that a son of a Birch or a son of a Beech?”asked the Beech.
“I don’t know which of you is the father,” the bird explained, “but I can tell you it’s the finest piece of ash I’ve ever put my pecker in.”
My friend Tyler told me this last night.
