English Original
One day, in the frozen north, a polar bear and his son were out for a stroll. The father bear sat on a lump of ice to admire the view and sent his son off to play.
Two minutes later, Junior returned. "Can I ask you a question, Dad?"
"Sure, son. What is it?"
"Am I a real polar bear, Dad?" asked Junior.
Dad smiled and said, "Of course you are, son. Now go and play."
So off Junior went again, throwing some snowballs at the seals, but soon he was back.
"Hey Dad, are you sure I am a real polar bear? Is there not a wee bit of brown bear or black bear in me?"
Dad smiled again and said, "Look, son, you've got big hairy black feet, a white coat, and a black shiny nose... of course you're a polar bear. Now go back and play."
Once again, Junior ran off. He slid down the ice, chased a couple of seagulls, and after ten minutes of fun, he returned with a puzzled look on his face.
"Daaaad... are you absolutely sure I'm a polar bear?"
"Look, son... I'm a polar bear, your mum's a polar bear, your granny and grandpa were polar bears... why are you asking all these questions?"
Junior looked up and said, "'Cause I'm freaking freezing!"

一天，在冰封的北方，一只北极熊和他的儿子正在散步。熊爸爸坐在一块冰上欣赏风景，让儿子自己去玩。
两分钟后，小熊回来了。"爸爸，我能问你一个问题吗？"
"当然可以，儿子。什么问题？"
"爸爸，我是一只真正的北极熊吗？" 小熊问道。
爸爸微笑着说："你当然是，儿子。现在去玩吧。"
于是小熊又跑开了，朝海豹扔了几个雪球，但很快他又回来了。
"嘿，爸爸，你确定我是一只北极熊吗？我身上就没有一点点棕熊或黑熊的血统吗？"
爸爸又笑了，说："听着，儿子，你有毛茸茸的大黑脚、白色的皮毛和黑亮的鼻子……你当然是北极熊。现在回去玩吧。"
小熊再次跑开。他在冰上滑行，追了几只海鸥，玩了十分钟后，他带着困惑的表情回来了。
"爸……你百分之百确定我是北极熊吗？"
"听着，儿子……我是北极熊，你妈妈是北极熊，你的爷爷奶奶也是北极熊……你为什么问这些问题？"
小熊抬起头说："因为我快冻死了！"
