More A Birch tree and a Beech tree are arguing in the middle of the forest. Between them, grows a strong, healthy Sapling. The Birch insists that the Sapling belongs to his family, and the Beech likewise insists that the Sapling belongs to his family.
Several years pass, and the Sapling continues to grow vigorously.
The Birch still claims that it could only be the son of a Birch, while the Beech argues that only a son of a Beech could look so good. Finally, sick of arguing, they both agree to have a professional solve the matter. They call upon a local woodpecker to discover the identity of the young tree. The woodpecker flickers from tree to tree, sampling their sap. Finally, the woodpecker settles on a branch of the Sapling.
