A hunter got lost in the woods, and decided to take shelter in a cave. However, a bear cub showed up from inside and scared him.
"Is your mother here?" the hunter asked.
"No," replied the cub.
"Is your father here?"
"No."
Hearing this, the hunter hit the bear cub and started shouting, "You stupid thing, do you know how you scared me!"
"Grandmaaaaaaaa!" yelled the cub in response.
