Am I Really a Polar Bear?
One afternoon in the Arctic, a father polar bear and his polar bear son were sitting in the snow. The cub turned to his father and said: "Dad, am I 100 per cent polar bear?"
"Of course, son," replied the father. "You are 100 per cent polar bear."
A few minutes later, the cub turned to his father again and said: "Dad, tell me the truth, I can take it. Am I 100 per cent polar bear? No brown bear or black bear or grizzly bear?"
The father put a loving paw on his son's head. "Son," he said, "I am 100 per cent polar bear, your mother is 100 per cent polar bear, so you are definitely 100 per cent polar bear."
The cub seemed satisfied, but a few minutes later he turned to his father once more and said: "Look, Dad, I don't want you saying things just to spare my feelings. I have to know: am I 100 per cent polar bear?"
By now the father was becoming distressed by the continual questioning and said: "Why do you keep asking if you are 100 per cent polar bear?"
The cub replied: "Because I'm freezing!"
