Two trees are growing in the woods. One day a sapling grows between them.
The first tree asks the other, "Hey, is that a son of a birch, or a son of a beech?"
The second tree replies, "I don't know, but here comes a woodpecker, we can ask him."
So they ask the woodpecker, "Mr. Woodpecker, you're an expert on trees, is that a son of a birch or a son of a beech?"
The woodpecker flies down and tastes a little sap and flies back. He says "Gentlemen. that is neither a son of a birch nor a son of a beech, that is the finest piece of ash I've ever had my pecker in. |
