There was once a tranquil forest.
All the animals lived and played peacefully
and happily.
In the middle of the forest was a glade with two majestic trees
growing into the sky.
One of the trees was a birch tree and one was a beech tree.
One day a tiny sapling sprouted up right between the two trees.
It was
perfectly spaced in the center between the trees.
The birch tree gazed down at the sapling and proudly said "Ah, there grows the son of a birch!"
And the beech tree replied, "Why you are mistaken!
There grows the son of a
beech!"
This started a terrible argument until the trees were both screaming!!
"Son of
a Birch!"
"Son of a Beech!"
"Son of a Birch!"
"Son of a Beech!!"
The animals were very distraught.
The peaceful forest was filled with the
roars of the trees going on and on..."Son of a Birch!"
"Son of a Beech"!!
They knew that they must do something...so they asked the trees if they would
both accept an expert`s opinion on the species of the sapling tree.
The Birch
and Beech trees agreed to let an expert decide.
The animals called in Woody the Woodpecker.
He flew all round the sapling and
viewed it from all angles.
Then he pecked at the sapling a few times, pecked
then some more and then flew into the trees with a smile.
"Well??" they all asked, "Is it the Son of a Beech or the Son of a Birch??"
Woody replied with a grin, "Neither one!!
It`s the best piece of Ash I`ve
ever put my pecker in !!!!!"
