there was a beech tree and a birch tree that grew up right next to each other. side by side they grew over years and years, becoming best of friends these birch and beech trees. one day, as the beech and birch tree stood over 70 feet tall next to each other, they spoted a tiny seedling growing right in the middle of the two. the beech tree looked at the birch tree and asked "do you think it's a birch tree or a beech tree?!" The beech tree just shook his head and shrugged his branches. Day after day the beech tree and the birch tree looked at the tree growing in between them, wonderin to themselves if it was a beech tree or a birch tree. one day the birch tree looked at the beech tree and said, "i know what we'll do!! we'll ask the woodpecker to go down and check!" they asked and he said he would. after ten to twenty minutes of the woodpecker pecking at the tree growing in between the beech and birch tree. "peck peck peck, peckpeckpeckpeck, peck peck peck peck, peck peck, peck peck peck." finally the woodpecker came back up from the tree growing in between the beech and birch tree. he landed on the birch tree and the beech tree yelled out "WELL??! what is it, a beech or a birch tree!!??" . . . the woodpecker looks up and says, "i dunno guys, but thats the best piece of "Ash" i've ever had!!"
