The Bear and the Hunter

The hunter raised his gun and aimed at the approaching bear. Unfortunately, he missed the bear’s head. The hunter pulled the trigger again but his gun was empty. Terrified, the hunter threw the gun at the bear and ran away as fast as he could. The bear picked up the gun and followed the hunter. Then the bear said, wait mister, you forgot your gun!
