THE OFFSPRING

A BIRCH AND A BEECH TREE GROW UP

SIDE BY SIDE IN THE FOREST.

ONE DAY, A SAPLING GROWS BETWEEN THEM,

AND EACH SWEARS THAT IT'S NOT THEIR SON.

THE BEECH THINKS IT'S A SON-OF-A-BIRCH,

AND THE BIRCH THINKS IT'S A SON-OF-A-BEECH.

TO SETTLE IT, THEY ENLIST THE HELP OF

A WOODPECKER, WHO CHECKS IT OUT.

"YOU ARE BOTH WRONG,"

HE SAYS WHEN HE COMES BACK UP.

"THAT'S THE BEST PIECE OF ASH

I'VE EVER HAD MY PECKER IN."
