Tree Humor

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, '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 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.
