Uncuttable wood wonders

The sun cast long shadows across the ranch as Badger and Yote set to work splitting and stacking wood for the coming winter. The crisp autumn air was filled with the rhythmic thunk of Badger’s axe, each swing splitting another log in half. Yote was nearby, carefully stacking the wood into neat piles, knowing they’d need every last piece once the snow set in.

Badger paused, wiping his brow. “Feels good to get ready, doesn’t it?”

Yote nodded, leaning on his stack with a grin. “There’s something satisfying about it. One of those things you can feel proud of—just like a good puzzle.”

Badger chuckled, recognizing the familiar gleam in Yote’s eye. “Alright, let’s hear it.”

Yote leaned in, dropping his voice for dramatic effect. “What is made of wood, but no saw on earth is sharp enough to cut?”

Badger scratched his head, thinking it over as he eyed the woodpile. “Hmm… It’s got to be something simple if I’m not seeing it.”

Yote’s grin grew wider. With a chuckle, the two friends returned to their work, a pile of split wood steadily growing beside them—a sign of their readiness for the winter days ahead.
