Unfortunately, there is no truth in this old folk saying... the verse is
just put this way so it will rhyme. Beech trees are even more dangerous
during a thunderstorm because they are often higher than oaks, and therefore
stand out more. In case of lightning, it is recommended to crouch low in a
semi-fetal position.

Ron, you're an American now, you should know you could easily get sued for
millions for this kind of advice!
