Task 2: 100 Percent Polar Bear
One afternoon in the Arctic¹, a father polar bear and his son polar bear were sitting in the snow. The son

turned to his father and asked, “Dad, am I 100 percent polar bear?” “Of course, son, you’re 100 percent

polar bear.”
A few minutes passed, and the bear turned to his father again and said, “Dad, tell me the truth. I can

take it. Am I 100 percent polar bear? No brown bear or panda bear?” “Son, I’m 100 percent polar bear and

your mother is 100 percent polar bear, so you’re certainly 100 percent polar bear.”
A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “Dad, don’t worry. But

it’ll hurt my feelings if it’s not true. I really need to know…am I really 100 percent polar bear?”
Somewhat angered by this continued questioning, the father polar bear yelled² at his son, “Why on earth do

you keep asking is you’re 100 percent polar bear?”
“Because I’m freezing to death out here!”
