In this forest reigned two princely trees; a grand Beech tree and a grand Birch tree. They grew a little too close to each other and ... well, they weren’t the best of friends. They got along well ... okay, let’s just be happy that they at least weren’t dropping branches on each other. So, all was (relatively) peaceful in the forest until one summer they noticed that between them was growing a young sapling. This would never do ... they had a reputation to uphold you see. Thus the argument started. The Beech tree insisted that the sapling was a Son of a Birch, while the Birch tree said it was a Son of a Beech. On the argument went. During one day while the argument raged, flew a woodpecker. The princes, came upon an idea. “Mr. Woodpecker, you are familiar with wood are you not.” “Why yes. You could say I’m somewhat of an expert. I’ve perched upon gnarly oaks, shaded under weeping willows, and even sampled the sap of the sweet maples. What can I do for you gentlemen?” “Would you care to settle and argument for us? Could you tell us whether this sapling is the Son of a Birch, or the Son of a Beech?” “I would be happy to!” Said the woodpecker and off he flew. The princes were secure with this turn of events and even ceased arguing for a while until they heard the sound of tapping. Tap, tap, tap. Went the woodpecker. Tap, tap, tappity, tap tap. On it went for quite some time. Finally the woodpecker returned with a smug, satisfied smile. “Well” asked the princes, “Is the young sapling a Son of a Birch or a Son of a Beech?” “Gentlemen, the sapling is neither the Son of a Birch nor a Son of a Beech.” the woodpecker replied. “For the sapling is a female tree ... and the finest young Ash I’ve ever had the privilege to tap!
